Invermere Fire Rescue (IFR) reported today that its newest deputy chief, Colin Matheson (right), has officially been sworn in.

Deputy Chief Matheson has been with the Invermere Fire Department for five years. He came to Invermere with previous fire experience and was a captain before being promoted to Deputy.

Colin has deep roots in the valley, knows our neighbourhoods well and has the necessary experience to lead our department of 32 members.

“It takes a special kind of person to serve as a Deputy Chief and run toward danger as others run away.  Invermere is in very good hands.

“We wish him the very best of luck in this new position going forward,” IFR stated on social media.
