NGFS welcomes 13 new volunteer firefighters

The North Grenville Fire Service (NGFS) added to its ranks. The recruitment process, launched last fall, has wrapped. A total of 13 new volunteer firefighters started last week.    

Fire Chief John Okum says 44 people put their names forward. He noted a candidates list was created through the recruitment process and the NGFS can draw from that list as needed. 

The new members will undergo extensive training before responding to emergency calls. Okum says this brings the NGFS numbers back up to 40 volunteer firefighters. 

He noted it’s a wonderful group. Okum says the NGFS held a welcoming event on August 12, which included all new and existing firefighters, along with their family members. 

All 13 are residents of North Grenville.
