Governor’s Harbour Fire Rescue (GHFR) originated from a pivotal meeting between Ricardo Pinder, the previous and current Fire Chief of Governor’s Harbour, Bob Colman, a prominent local businessman and philanthropist, and Martin Weber, a concerned second homeowner and long-time volunteer firefighter.

Recognizing the pressing need for a dedicated volunteer Fire Service to safeguard the community of Governor’s Harbour, swift action was taken. Soon a Bahamian Non-Profit Company was established with a stellar local board, the recruitment of both former and new volunteer firefighters created a strong crew, and the selection of an effective fundraising committee pursued the purchase of necessary equipment.
