THUNDER BAY - The city of Thunder Bay will be recruiting a new fire chief, saying only that former Thunder Bay Fire Rescue chief, John Hay, no longer works for the corporation.
Information came to light last December that Hay was no longer working in the role as fire chief with Thunder Bay Fire Rescue and deputy chief Greg Hankkio was filling in as interim chief.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the city said Hankkio will remain as acting fire chief until September and that information about recruitment for a new fire chief will be released soon.
City manager Norm Gale said Hay no longer works for the corporation but did not elaborate as to the reason why he is no longer serving as chief.
The city says no further comments will be made beyond the issued statement.
