All:

Just a few quick personnel updates to share:

1.  FF/Paramedic Karl Doane has accepted a position with the Auburn Fire 
Department and his last shift will be on Thursday 12/11.  We wish Karl 
well in his new position.

2.  We have added two new Call Firefighter recruits who will be starting 
on 12/1, they are Tanyon Ventres and Thomas Kokernak. Hopefully, we will 
have both enrolled in the upcoming Call/Vol recruit program.

3.  For the three open positions, we held interviews on 11/5. The 
interviews were conducted in two separate panels, the first was with the 
Shift Captains and also contained an EMS component. The second panel was 
with myself and the Deputy.  I am pleased to report that we had several 
excellent candidates.  The top three candidates are currently in 
background checks.  The hope is to have them on board in early January.

4.  FF Robert Walters has been assigned as the Emergency Management 
Coordinator.  This was effective on 11/1.

5.  The vacant Senior Firefighter position on Group 3 has been posted 
and applications/resumes will be accepted until 12/15.

Finally, FF JD Quist will be graduating from the *_MFA Career Recruit 
program on Monday 12/1, 11am at the Stow Campus_*. Please come out, 
support and celebrate JD for his accomplishment and hard work.

Thanks:

Chief Hall
