Deputy Fire Chief Reno Levesque’s last day with Port Hope Fire and Emergency Services is on February 10.
Levesque is leaving for a new position as training officer with Ajax Fire and Emergency Services.

“Reno has been instrumental in rejuvenating our volunteer firefighter training program which has been recognized as being one of the best,” said Edgar.

“Reno, your dedication and commitment will be missed and we wish you well into the future.”
