A conversation with NGFR Chief Craig Bouchard
NGX sat down with Chief Bouchard to learn about what’s happening with the New Gloucester Fire & Rescue, what’s working well, what is needed and the challenges they face. Bouchard was appointed chief in July 2023, after an extended search. He had been hired as a per diem member in June 2019, and was appointed part time deputy chief in August 2019. He strives to create a more member-centered culture in the department. “We believe all members are equal, and everyone’s ideas are valued the same. So many great ideas flow from the bottom up.” One example he described was team training in low-angle rope rescues, essential in rescuing someone who has fallen down a steep slope. This collaborative culture helps to increase involvement, commitment and retention. “It keeps people here because they’re happy,” noted the chief.
