Long-time Deputy Fire Chief Rocco Volpe is now at the helm of Central York Fire Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volpe\u2019s appointment as Fire Chief was announced Monday by the Towns of Aurora and Newmarket, the two communities the Central York Fire Services (CYFS) serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The newly-minted Chief Volpe joined the CYFS in 2015 and led the department\u2019s Organization and Support Services divisions and has served as Acting Chief of the CYFS since December of last year, following the sudden passing of Chief Ian Laing in November 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His 25 years of experience were hailed by both Towns and the Joint Council Committee, which is comprised of Aurora and Newmarket Council members and staff tasked with overseeing the department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are proud of the very high level of service CYFS provides our community and I know Chief Volpe will work exceptionally hard to continue to keep our residents safe,\u201d said Mayor Mrakas in a statement. \u201cOn behalf of Aurora Town Council, I\u2019d like to congratulate Chief Volpe and I look forward to working closely with him to continue strengthening CYFS and the services they provide.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Added Newmarket Mayor John Taylor: \u201cOn behalf of Newmarket Council, I\u2019d like to thank Chief Rocco Volpe on the strong leadership he\u2019s provided to the department over the past nine years as Deputy Chief and particularly this past year as Acting Chief. I look forward to seeing his continued leadership and innovation as he moves forward as our new Fire Chief.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volpe comes to the role with a Masters Certificate in Municipal Leadership from York University\u2019s Schulich School of Business, diplomas in Fire Service Administration & Fire Service Leadership from Dalhousie University, among other achievements, and currently serves on the Boards of the York Region branch of St. John\u2019s Ambulance and the York Fire Chiefs Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am excited about the opportunity to bring my background and vision to Central York Fire Services and to lead the department in delivering exceptional service,\u201d said Chief Volpe in a statement. \u201cIt\u2019s an honour to serve my community and I look forward to doing so alongside staff and with the support of our Joint Council Committee and Newmarket and Aurora Councils.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
