He began his career as a firefighter in Lake of Bays and has since built a portfolio in leadership development, firefighter training, emergency management, incident command, fire investigation, and public education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cChief Alldred\u2011Hughes brings the senior leadership experience we need, while knowing our department first-hand,\u201d said Chief Administrative Officer Geoff Carleton. \u201cHe started his career as a volunteer firefighter at Station 3 in Hillside and went on to lead at the highest levels in other areas. Now he returns home with both fire chief expertise and strong local roots, positioning him as the clear choice to lead a made\u2011in\u2011Lake of Bays operation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this year, the Township announced Council\u2019s decision to conclude the shared fire service agreement with the Town of Huntsville, beginning an 18\u2011month transition toward independent departments. Moving forward, the Township will prepare for independence, with the new department taking shape before the current agreement concludes in early 2027. Emergency response remains unchanged, with the new administration working collaboratively with the Town of Huntsville and current Fire Chief Monahan to ensure a seamless transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We thank Fire Chief Monahan for his leadership, expertise and continued guidance. The commitment and collaboration shown by Chief Monahan and the Town of Huntsville has been exemplary and we look forward to carrying this spirit of mutual support throughout the transition,\u201d said Chief Administrative Officer Geoff Carleton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>From the Township of Lake of Bays<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following a recruitment process that brought strong interest from across the fire service sector, the Township of Lake of Bays has appointed\u00a0Jeremy Alldred-Hughes\u00a0as\u00a0Director of Emergency Services and Fire Chief,\u00a0effective\u00a0November 24, [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1904,"featured_media":211535,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-211497","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
