Winkler Fire Department recruitment underway as part of their succession planning
The Winkler Fire Department (WFD) is actively recruiting new members to their team.
WFD Chief Richard Paetzold explained, even though there are a rising number of calls for service, this isn't the reason for recruitment.
"We do have a sufficient complement of members at this point, but we have to start planning for the future because our members are aging, and our average years of service is almost 20 years. So, we have to start planning for five years from now. That's what this recruitment is about."
