The Township of Rideau Lakes is pleased to announce that Mark McFalls will be appointed as Interim Fire Chief on January 2, 2024.

With over 15 years in Fire Services, McFalls has worked with Rideau Lakes since 2019 in the positions of Deputy Fire Chief, Fire Consultant and Training Consultant. Previous experience with neighbouring municipalities includes Assistant Fire Chief, Assistant Lieutenant, Fire Prevention Officer and Firefighter.

Effective immediately, McFalls will shadow the current Interim Fire Chief Andy Moore, who will be moving into the role of Assistant Fire Chief of Prevention and Training at the Town of Perth. Moore has been an integral part of the Fire Services Team at Rideau Lakes, and his colleagues at the Township congratulate him on his success, as Moore will be closer to home and family.

In the Interim, McFalls will be responsible for directing the operation, maintenance, control and repair of all firefighting equipment and other department property, while maintaining accurate records, while liaising with representatives of neighboring fire departments to ensure the continuation of adequate mutual aid agreements are developed to mitigate major emergency incidents. Mayor Arie Hoogenboom expressed that, “On behalf of the Township, we are pleased to welcome Mark McFalls as Interim Fire Chief, and to advise that there will be uninterrupted service to the residents of Rideau Lakes.”
