Cloud ‘deeply honoured’ to accept position as regional fire chief
Keaton Cloud has been promoted to the role of chief of the La Ronge Regional Fire Department.
“I’m deeply honoured to be have been offered this position and serve for my tri-Communities for hopefully years to come,” he wrote in an email to larongeNOW. “This is something I did not see happening for years, however being offered this position in my hometown, close to my family and to lead a highly-trained fire department was something that was hard to turn down.”
Cloud brings with him nearly six years of experience and he became a fully-certified firefighter in 2018. He went from a regular serving member to acting-fire chief in the matters of weeks in December 2019 after the sudden departure of Wayne Tchorzewski, who left because of health issues.
Cloud is a Lac La Ronge Indian Band member and a graduate of La Ronge’s Churchill Community High School. He officially became the fire chief of the department Dec. 18.
