Lakeshore’s fire chief, Don Williamson, will be chief of both Lakeshore and Leamington for a period of up to a four-month term, with the possibility of extending for a maximum of eight months if needed.
Lakeshore council has voted in favour of temporary fire chief services to be shared between the two municipalities.
Administration recommended entering into the shared services agreement to support the neighbouring municipality.
This comes after Leamington’s fire chief, Andrew Baird, departed from the organization and Leamington required a fire chief to be appointed.
Within the Fire Protection and Prevention Act, municipalities with an established fire department are mandated to appoint a fire chief.
