Dwayne Anderson
Based in Prince George, Dwayne Anderson was one of several PEA members recruited in 2021. A Timber Pricing Officer who is responsible for the Coastal Mountain District as well as three other districts, Anderson is a notable recruit because he worked with BC Wildfire Services from 1993 to 2016. Most PEA members, like other public servants who volunteer to help in provincial states of emergencies, would be assigned roles such as logistics, communications, or liaisons officers. But because of his expertise, Anderson was taxed with a high-ranking operational role: incident commander.
