New Fire Chief Looks Forwarding To Leading Department Out Of Tough Times

Newly appointed Fire Chief Kevin Clifford is looking forward to digging into this new position.

He tells CHSJ News the fire department is going through some tough times due to budget and staff cutbacks but he's looking forward to leading them through it.

He says his priorities is to develop a succession plan and to improve training for special fire calls like high-angle and confined space rescues.

Clifford also wants to improve the public's perception of the fire department and show people the variety of emergency responses that the department needs to be ready for.
