Jan 22, 2020

Central Frontenac Fire Chief Jamie Riddell welcomed new firefighters Rebecca Vinkle, Taylor Hughes and Paul Gosse to the “family” Tuesday night in Mountain Grove in a special swearing in ceremony. The three are the latest graduates of the Township’s recruitment and training program. On this, the department’s second annual awards night, they also honoured Corey Kemp for dedication and leadership in training and development, Virginia Gray and John Morrow for their work in fire prevention and life safety and Andrew Hole for occupational health and safety. Also honoured was Ryan Conboy, who successfully completed his public information officer certificate from the Office of the Fire Marshall. “We’re a really tight-knit group who have responded to major incidents, some in the past two years,” said Chief Riddell. “It’s an honour of mine to stand with you was we do our duty.”
