The fire chief is severely unqualified and overwhelmed by the responsibilities of the role, lacking both leadership skills and a clear understanding of the job. Rather than promoting capable personnel, the chief routinely advances individuals who are unfit for leadership, resulting in a dysfunctional and poorly managed department.
“We have brand-new fire stations that sit completed but unopened due to poor leadership and a lack of follow-through. Instead of opening them for actual service, the Fire Chief held not one, but two staged events to make it look like progress had been made. After the cameras left and the public was gone, the stations were shut again, and our firefighters were sent back to outdated, subpar facilities. This isn’t leadership—it’s a PR stunt at the expense of community safety.”
