Since 2015 Brad Lemaich has been Chief of the Shelburne and District Fire Department — but he’s heading back to his roots.
Lemaich has been hired to be the new fire chief for the Town of Tillsonburg.
He will start his new job June 8th.
Lemaich is a former Tillsonburg resident and began his career as an emergency responder back in 2003, and served as a firefighter and trainer with Tillsonburg Fire and Rescue until 2013.
He says he will miss Shelburne but is excited for the opportunity to do the same job right where he started, and be closer to family.
The fire board has begun the planning process to look for a candidate to fill the role here in Shelburne.
