It is with great sadness that Powell River Fire Rescue acknowledges the passing of retired Fire Chief Wayne Langdale.

Chief Langdale was born and raised in Powell River and served the majority of his fire service career in New Zealand and then as Fire Chief of Powell River Fire Rescue from 1989 to 1998. Chief Langdale brought a wealth of knowledge, experience, and leadership to our community. Throughout his tenure, he demonstrated an unwavering commitment to public safety, helped shape the department's future, and mentored many firefighters whose careers and service were influenced by his guidance.

His contributions to the fire service and to the citizens of Powell River will leave a lasting legacy that will not be forgotten.

On behalf of all members, past and present, of Powell River Fire Rescue, we extend our sincere condolences to Chief Langdale's family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time.

Thank you, Chief Langdale, for your years of service, leadership, and dedication to our community. Your legacy will continue to be remembered and honored.

Rest in peace, Chief.
