The Timmins Fire Department needs a new chief. 

City officials say Chief Normand Beauchamp submitted his resignation on Monday, March 18.

Beauchamp has only been with the City of Timmins since the fall of 2017 and officials say he has been away from his post since November due to personal reasons.

City officials say they cannot reveal any more details than that, but say they're working on the next steps for leadership of the department.  

Deputy Fire Chief Ellard Beaven is currently leading the department.
