The City of North Vancouver is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Greg Schalk as the new Fire Chief of the City of North Vancouver Fire Department.
Chief Schalk has a long and impressive history in the fire service. He joined the city as a Firefighter in 2000 and became a Lieutenant in 2014. On behalf of the city’s Fire Department, he was instrumental in developing the North Shore Rapid Intervention Team Program and the North Shore Blue Card Incident Command Program.
In his new role, Chief Schalk will oversee all city fire operations, fire prevention and inspection, business administration and fire service delivery, as well as oversight of the city’s emergency planning and response program in collaboration with the North Shore Emergency Management Office (NSEM).
“I’m very pleased to have Chief Schalk lead our city’s highly respected and progressive Fire Department,” says Mayor Linda Buchanan. “Greg’s experience, professionalism, and dedication will serve our community well and allow us to continue to provide the highest level of fire related emergency services to protect the life and property of city residents.”
Chief Schalk begins his new role this week, replacing outgoing Fire Chief Dan Pistilli, who has retired after eight years with the City of North Vancouver Fire Department.
