Port Hope officially has a new fire chief.
Jeff Ogden, who has been serving as acting fire chief, has officially been given the title.
As well, Jason Williams has been hired as Director of Protective Services.
Both positions will start on August 29.
Previously, the Director and Fire Chief positions were combined under one employee portfolio at the Municipality, but a recent organizational structure change has split this position.
Ogden has worked in municipal fire services since 1995, and has been in the role of Deputy Fire Chief since last year.
