Here is Timothy Kraemer
I look forward to continue serving the residents and visitors of Prince Edward County in my new role and most of all I look forward to supporting the amazing team of men and women who are committed to protecting the people and property of Prince Edward County. I am thankful for the love and support of my wife Michele Kraemer and my daughters Emily and Ella, father Chris Kraemer and all the people whom I’ve met, trained and worked with in the fire service over the last 11 years.
I began my fire career as a volunteer Firefighter at Station 5 (Rossmore) on December of 2009 and became employed with The County of Prince Edward as a career Firefighter on October of 2013. I am passionate about continued education, public awareness of fire safety and life safety equipment.
I was a diesel Truck & Coach Technician for 17 years prior to becoming a career firefighter. I moved to Prince Edward County in October of 2000 from my home town of Kitchener, Ontario.
