The Dryden Fire Service is saying goodbye to a valuable member of their team.
Dexter Hupe has accepted the Fire Chief position in Red Lake.
He joined the Service in March 2019 as a firefighter in the Work Experience Program and was hired in a permanent full-time capacity in January 2020 as the Training Officer before being promoted to Captain the following year.
In a statement on social media, Chief Chris Wood stated Dexter has played a vital role in the training and certification of our members and, over his 4-and-a-half years of tenure, has made Dryden and Dryden Fire Service the place he called home.
Wood adds they are incredibly grateful for his dedication to training their team and assisting them in keeping the City of Dryden safe.
He says the citizens and municipality of Red Lake are lucky that their Fire Service is in his hands.
