Walnut Hill Volunteer Fire Department Names Chris Brown As New Chief
September 23, 2008
The Walnut Hill Volunteer Fire Department named Chris Brown as their new chief Monday night.
Brown is taking over the position following the recent retirement of Robert Stewart, who served as the department’s chief for 15 years.
“I look forward to continuing the department’s long standing tradition of service in Walnut Hill and surrounding communities,” Brown said.
Brown, 33, joined the Walnut Hill Volunteer Fire Department in April of 1997. He had served at the rank of captain for the past four years. He is a certified instructor, has Firefighter I certification and a Hazmat endorsement.
He said he is looking forward to leading the team at the Walnut Hill Volunteer Fire Department, which has the largest district in Escambia County in terms of square miles.
“I’m just here to support the guys,” Brown said.

Best Wishes in your new position! I am a firefighter’s wife (Destin FCD). I am still amazed at the courage that it takes someone to get up in the middle of the night, leave their home, and “battle the beast” all for little or no pay. You are truly Walnut Hill’s finest!
Congratulations and thanks for your service to your community!
Congratulations Chris! I have no doubt you will be a great success.
Congratulations Chris been watching Station 15 from away and wondered who would be next. Think you’ll do a great job. Station 15 will always be the best anyway!! Keep up the good work.
