Powell River Fire Rescue captain Christian Phyall was recently recognized for his 25 years of service to firefighting.
At the January 23 City of Powell River Council meeting, mayor Ron Woznow said the British Columbia long-service medal is awarded to firefighters who have completed 25 years of paid or volunteer fire service, dedicated to a community fire department as a structural firefighter.
Woznow said Phyall started his service with Powell River Fire Rescue in the Wildwood fire hall in March of 1990. Phyall was hired to a career position on March 24, 2003.
“Chris was promoted to captain in 2018, has been an exemplary member of the department, and has led most of the current firefighters through training and to responses during his tenure,” added Woznow. “We congratulate Chris on his considerable achievement.”
Woznow then presented Phyall with his medal, congratulating him, saying it was well deserved.
