A little info to fill in the holes. Once a Fire Chief, always a Fire Chief. A large part appears to be transitioning the voluntary fire depts into the new age. (See Admin Appointments). Sometimes good is done, sometimes it isn't, but one thing is sure, Transitional always does good!

Commenting on people like this is getting very close to being slanderous.
