Nelson said these officers will support captain Stone Olson and Fire Chief James McKilligan to make a well-rounded team.

In the press release, Nelson also announced the Malakwa Firehall has been upgraded over the past year. New siding, roller doors for the truck bays, a crest and hall fascia have all been added.

Nelson said the fire department and its members are central to the community and those interested in becoming a firefighter can drop by the firehall Tuesdays between 7 and 9 p.m.
