How about Joseph Glover?
Well we know how the last one went. Hire an outsider for new blood from a city with an iso rating of one. Then don’t let him do anything and force him to quit and also be fired? Or whatever drama was involved. Sad. We need leadership and no restrictions on the fire chiefs decisions. Also go back to four person crews. They should be able to make the decision they need to for the safety of the community. And a much bigger budget as well. We need a better way to raise money to supplement what is not in the coffer.
So we got a Rusty Nail last time.
Maybe a Shiny Penny this time.
Chris Hatch!! Someone who has been in the volunteer depts as well as the paid. It’s not just a job, he is passionate about his work
… “briefly” looking over this list…… I see about 10 names of applicants I am familiar with in one way or another… Good ol Boys for sure (insiders) The county admin would serve the folks better if there were new blood brought in. Fire is fire… and the “system is the system. Can’t change fire but the leadership can change the system.
