Escambia County’s Fire Chief Submits Resignation
June 29, 2023
Escambia County Fire Chief Jason Catrambone has submitted his resignation.
Officials say he provided a 90-day notice in a resignation letter, but gave no real reason for his decision.
Catrambone took over the ECFR chief job on June 14, 2021, after previously serving as the fire chief for the City of Williston, North Dakota.
Escambia County is expected to next name an interim fire chief before beginning the search for permanent replacemen.

Obviously this position has been filled to many times by people who think they can do anything when and how they want.
By now it’s quite obvious that good men have held this position only to find out it’s all about political hopscotch and not what they were hired to do. No surprise here.
Who this guy answers to is the public safety director I would assume, whom answers to the administrator, whom answers to the commission.
This has been a pattern here for years. People keep electing people like Bergosh, Barry and many others in the past. The good ole boy mentality is alive and well.
It does not matter who the candidate is, local or from out of town. The problem is with who the chief answers to. Until a change in county government is made, this problem will persist.
Stop hiring these out of town folks and find someone local who is committed to Escambia County for the long haul. This is a habit with the Fire Chief position. I know we have qualified people here who can do the job.
He probably said it’s too hot down here. He’s going back to ND.
