Three members of our Amherst Fire Department are celebrating a number of outstanding accomplishments, all related to their service at the local, provincial, and national levels.
Chief Greg Jones – our Director of Fire Services – recently attended the Fire Rescue Canada conference in Montreal where he was re-elected to the Board of the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs as a Director at Large. During a special ceremony, Chief Jones was awarded the King Charles III Coronation Medal for his work across multiple organizations to advance the field of fire services.
Deputy Fire Chief Brian Farrow was also awarded a King Charles III Coronation Medal, for his work related to co-chairing the Building Codes Committee of the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs.
Captain Bob Sperry – after years of study and effort – received his Executive Chief Fire Officer Aspire certification in Montreal. This certification is an acknowledgement of Bob’s professional conduct, training, education, and skills in a number of competencies required as a leader in today’s fire service, and it allows these competencies to be recognized across provinces, territories, and municipalities.
Congratulations Greg, Brian, and Bob on these fantastic honours and achievements.
