There’s another new permanent addition to The Pas Fire Department that was announced at the beginning of this week.

Matthew Pecar has officially accepted his position as The Pas Fire Department’s Fire Prevention Officer. Pecar has spent over a decade with the department and worked his way up the ladder to securing his new position.

“I was born and raised in Winnipeg, then moved to The Pas when I turned 18 years old,” said Pecar. “I went to UCN to study Natural Resources and found that it wasn’t quite what I was looking for in terms of a career."
