Lindsay Holm can dispose of the “acting” tag in front of “fire chief.”
Holm was introduced as the new full-time fire chief in North Battleford at council Monday by City Manager Randy Patrick.
A search had been underway in the months since the departure of former Fire Chief Trevor Brice earlier this year. Holm was elevated from deputy fire chief to be the acting chief, and in the end the decision was made to keep Holm on full time.
“I really am looking forward to serving the city in the capacity of fire chief,” Holm said at council. “It’s something that I didn’t expect to come this soon, but it’s something I’m really looking forward to.”
Holm has long experience in protective services, starting as an Emergency Medical Technician before joining the North Battleford Fire Department in 2000.
This year he received the Saskatchewan Protective Services Medal from Lt.-Gov. Russ Mirasty in recognition of his years of service.
