State Fire Marshal Mike Chaney and Executive Director Kelly Elliot believe these firefighters will be an asset to the fire departments they represent. “We are confident the immediate impact and positive difference these firefighters will make, not only within their departments but also in their communities, will truly be substantial,” said Director Elliot.
