PRINCE GEORGE — A new fire chief for Prince George Fire Rescue Services has been named.
Deputy Fire Chief Bryan Burleigh has been selected as the 12th Fire Chief of PG Fire Rescue. Burleigh will start in Fire Rescue’s top position at “the start of June following the departure of current Fire Chief Cliff Warner who is retiring after 30 years of service, including three years as chief.”
“As we wish retiring Chief Warner the best following his 30 years of service, and welcome Deputy Chief Burleigh into this role, we congratulate both gentlemen on entering their next chapters,” said Director of Administrative Services, Eric Depenau.
“Deputy Chief Burleigh has led the response to a number of challenging emergencies and has been present as part of the leadership team during the negotiation of the current collective agreement, management of complex social issues and refinement of our internal training program. He is a strong leader and has the respect of the service. We are fortunate to see him take on the immense responsibility of Fire Chief.”
