Late yesterday afternoon the personnel department informed me that Mr. Watson had signed the pink slips approving our recommendations to fill the 2 open officer positions.   I am pleased to officially announce Jody Durham as the new A-Shift Battalion Chief and Ray Burney as the new B-Shift Captain.  The promotions take affect this Sunday.   I would like to thank all of the applicants who participated in the promotion process.  It was a difficult decision as the top 3 Battalion Chief candidates were tied at 17.00 points in the resume score, separated by only 3 points on the written test and were 2.34 points apart in the assessment center.   This speaks well of the officers we have working in the fire department.

Please take a moment to congratulate Battalion Chief Jody Durham and Captain Ray Burney when you see them.

Darryl Kerley, Chief
