The Town of Essex has appointed Jim Meloche as its new Assistant Deputy Fire Chief.

Meloche has been with Essex Fire and Rescue Services since 2004, first as a volunteer firefighter at Station 2. He became a Captain in 2021.

"We are thrilled to welcome Jim Meloche to his new role as assistant deputy fire chief," said Fire Chief Jason Pillon. "Jim's proven track record of dedication, expertise, and community involvement will serve him well."

Since 1996, Meloche worked at Wolverine Freight System as a truck, coach trailer technician, lead hand, and maintenance supervisor.

In March, the fire service promoted Jacey Brockman to Deputy Fire Chief. Pillon was made the permanent Fire Chief in December.
