Duties will include, but not necessarily limited to, supervision of 12 or more volunteer fire fighters, supervision of a training officer, supervision of the care and maintenance of all apparatus, fire hall, grounds, power equipment and all PPE. Also the fire chief will be expected to present yearly a budget to the LSB. Currently the position involves some 400 hours a year and would be considered part time.

No open fires are permitted during daytime hours from April 1 to October 31 (please refer to the Ontario Fire Prevention Act for details). When there is no fire ban in place, open fires are permitted overnight as wind normally drops and humidity increases. You must be prepared to supervise any fire you have, and have the means to keep it under control.
