Thunder Bay — The city has named its second deputy fire chief.
The city on Monday announced the hiring of Martin Hynna, who has been with Thunder Bay Fire Rescue since 2000 in various roles, including as a firefighter, training officer, and division chief of training.
Hynna was most recently in the acting role as deputy fire chief until the announcement came that he was the successful candidate to fill the role permanently. Hynna joins Dave Paxton as the department's two deputy fire chiefs.
In a release, Chief Greg Hankkio says Hynna has provided an unwavering commitment to the team and community.
"I have the utmost confidence in Martin’s expertise and look forward to his continued leadership as Deputy Fire Chief,” he said.
Hynna officially started in his new role, effective Oct. 27.
