Fire Chief Paul Lindley is a disappointment, plain and simple. What should be a respected and mission‑driven organization instead looks like a vanity project for its chief. The focus isn’t on protecting the community, supporting volunteers, or building operational strength—it’s on endless self‑promotion and empty chatter.
The department’s leadership comes across as hollow: more interested in talking about personal possessions and self‑image than addressing the serious demands of fire service in a fragile mountain community. The result is clear—low morale, wasted time, and a fire department that inspires little confidence among the very people it is supposed to protect.
