Background

About Dave Schellenberg

As a Fire Chief and Emergency Coordinator, I am committed to protecting lives, property, and communities through proactive emergency planning, rapid response, and strong leadership. Working in rural and remote areas presents unique challenges, from limited resources to vast geographic coverage, but I thrive in ensuring our communities are prepared, resilient, and well-supported in times of crisis. With experience in fire suppression, emergency management, and disaster response coordination, I lead teams in developing strategic emergency plans, training first responders, and collaborating with local, provincial, and Indigenous partners to enhance safety and preparedness. Whether managing wildfire response, flood mitigation, or large-scale evacuations, I focus on effective incident command, risk reduction, and community-centered solutions that prioritize both immediate safety and long-term recovery.
