EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — Doña Ana Fire Rescue is in the process of hiring its next fire chief, and residents are invited to take part in the process through a series of virutal meetings featuring each of the finalists.
During their respective session, each finalist will deliver a presentation — not to exceed 45-minutes — outlining their vision for the department’s role in the community and their plans for community engagement and collaboration.
Following the presentation, members of the public will have an opportunity to participate in a Q&A session by submitting questions through the chat/comments section on the YouTube livestream. A moderator will read questions aloud as time permits.
“This is an exciting time for Doña Ana Fire Rescue,” Interim Fire Chief Andrew Bowen said. “Hearing from the finalists offers our residents a glimpse into the future of the department. We look forward to welcoming a leader who will continue strengthening our commitment to serve the people of Doña Ana County.”
