PRINCE GEORGE — A big change is coming to the management team at Prince George Fire Rescue.
Current Fire Chief John Iverson is retiring and will be replaced by Deputy Fire Chief Cliff Warner.
Iverson is retiring after 35 years of service, including the last eight years as chief. Warner will start his new job at the end of January.
“Prince George City Council thanks Chief Iverson for his 35 years of exemplary service and strong leadership,” said Lyn Hall, Mayor of Prince George. “Deputy Chief Warner has an impressive record of service, including leading Fire Rescue through the wildfire evacuations in 2017 and 2018, the Covid-19 pandemic, and the transition to the new Fire Hall #1. We wish the very best to Chief Iverson as he embarks on his well-earned retirement and congratulate Deputy Chief Warner on his selection as Fire Chief.”
Warner has 26 years of service in Prince George’s fire department including serving in every senior management position. Warner will be overseeing many high-profile initiatives when he assumes the Services’ top position, including the upcoming move of the City’s Fire Operations Communications Centre to Fire Hall #1.
