New Grande Prairie fire chief named

Preben Bossen has been named the new chief of the Grande Prairie Fire Department.

He began with the department as a volunteer firefighter in 1983 and in March 1984 he started full-time.

“I felt I had a lot to offer to this department and this city in taking on this role,” said Bossen.

He says keeping good stats for the department’s response to calls with the addition of new equipment is a priority.
