Search for new PW chief ends at home as Davidson appointment now permanent
December 20, 2024
Wyoming resident Will Davidson is the new Plympton-Wyoming fire chief.
Davidson has been acting chief since August when Erik Campbell left the department.
Davidson has been a firefighter in Wyoming for 22 years and was the fire chief in North Middlesex from 2015 to 2019. When he returned to the Plympton-Wyoming department he served as the training officer and became a professor Lambton College’s fire school.
Davidson is not the first in his family to lead the department. His father, Bill, was the Wyoming chief for 40 years.
“My family has deep roots here and it is certainly nice to be doing what I love in my own community,” said the new chief in a news release.
Davidson becomes the fourth fire chief in the community in the last seven years. Campbell left in August with the town making no comment on why.
He had replaced Darryl Thompson who parted ways with the municipality at the same time as former CAO Carolyn Tripp in 2023.
Thompson took over for Steve Clemens, who was the first chief of the amalgamated fire department, left in 2021 after five years on the job.
