By unanimous vote of Town Council Monday, Arnprior has its new Fire Chief.
Mayor Walter Stack says the recruitment process began with the retirement of former Chief Jeff Crawford earlier this year.
The Mayor says the successful candidate is no stranger.
Rick Desarmia joined the municipality as a volunteer firefighter in 1994, became Fire Prevention Officer in 2012 and volunteer Deputy Chief in that year as well.
The Deputy Chief position became a fulltime role in March of 2018 and Desarmia was first to hold it.
Says Mayor Stack, “Council, the senior management team and all staff are looking forward to working with Rick in his new position as Chief.
