Fire/rescue chief changes hands By Joni MacFarlane Editor
Management of the Crowsnest Pass Fire/Rescue department is changing hands after Steve Munshaw, Manager of Protective Services and Fire Chief, handed in his resignation letter last week. Deputy Fire Chief Jamie Wilkinson has accepted the position and will be filling the top spot effective July 11. Munshaw, who has been with the department for almost two years, said the decision was made in order to spend more time with his family. “It’s a great opportunity for my family and my-
r e h c n i P Creek
self to be able to spend more time together,” said Munshaw. “Crowsnest Pass has been a wonderful location, it’s a beautiful location to live in, we love the mountains, but with this new job, I’m able to have more family time and enjoy [my kids] growing up.” Munshaw, who was born and raised in Kimberley, B.C., started his 20-year fire service career in his hometown. He joined the Crowsnest Pass Fire/Rescue department in September 2012 during a turbulent period that oversaw a reorganization of the entire department. Munshaw will be taking over as Fire Chief in
Taber managing a department of 24 volunteer fire fighters, a full-time Deputy Chief and a part-time administrative person. He said there will be a strong emphasis on training and as part of that, Taber will be building a new training centre for fire fighters throughout the region. Wilkinson, who joined the department on a contract basis in December 2012, said he’s looking forward to the challenges of the position and has the full support of the fire fighters. The Deputy Fire Chief position currently runs to year end and as at press time, had not yet been filled.
