It'll be a new challenge for the Portage fire chief. 

Dennis Nodrick is in the running for the RM of Portage -- his decision made after the announcement the ward three councilor is seeking the reeve's chair. 

 

Nodrick plans to tackle issues he believes is shared by local area residents, and that's improving infrastructure, safety, and recreational opportunities. 

 

Nodrick feels he won't experience a difficult transition despite serving the city for so long.  He also sees no issue in fulfilling a councilor's duties, after learning of the required time commitments. 

 

Nodrick plans to retire from the fire service within the next two years to fully commit to council.
