Fire Chief's Message - 2023 Year in Review
It’s an honor to serve the community and the staff of the South Montgomery County Fire Department as Fire Chief. The 150 men and women that work within the 7 Divisions of the Department are the key to the success of our organization, and they serve with professional excellence on a daily basis. I am thankful for our ESD Board of Commissioners who support me and the vision and mission of the Department.
Our service area continued to see explosive growth and development in 2023. As a result, the department increased staffing both in Operations and Administration. In Administration, we added a Support Services Director, a Technology Director, a Community Risk Reduction Officer, an additional Fire Inspector, and an additional Training Officer. In Operations, we increased staffing on each shift to maintain four members on every Engine and Ladder Truck every day.
