Cranbrook fire chief receives provincial award

Cranbrook fire chief Scott Driver has received the prestigious Meritorious Achievement Award by the Fire Chiefs’ Association of British Columbia.

Driver was given the award at the 94th Annual FCABC Conference and Education Summit in Penticton back in June.

The award recognizes a fire chief who has made a significant contribution to fire prevention, emergency response, and public safety across the province.

“We’re incredibly proud of chief Driver. This recognition highlights his dedication to public safety and the respect he’s earned across B.C. It’s an honour very well deserved,” said Mayor Wayne Price.

Driver has served as Director of the Kootenay Boundary Region, organizing regional training opportunities and participated wildfire mitigation and fire prevention committees.
