Clinton names Ferrari assistant fire chief and fire marshal
Summary
The Clinton City Council and fire leadership formally sworn in Assistant Chief Ferrari as assistant fire chief and fire marshal after a 28-year career with the Clinton Fire Department.
Assistant Chief Ferrari was sworn in Tuesday as Clinton’s assistant fire chief and fire marshal following remarks by Chief McQuiston highlighting Ferrari’s 28 years with the Clinton Fire Department.
Council and department officials said Ferrari’s career has included promotions to engineer in 2001 and to lieutenant in 2008, followed by posts in training and emergency medical services. Chief McQuiston said those posts “have prepared him to take on the responsibilities of fire marshal.”
The nut graf: The appointment formalizes Ferrari’s operational and training role in the department and places him in charge of fire marshal duties for the City of Clinton. Council members and department leadership framed the oath as part of normal succession and credentialing for department command staff.
Ferrari repeated the oath of office, pledging “to serve the citizens of the City of Clinton with compassion, courage, and integrity” and to “preserve life and property from the elements of fire and disaster.” Chief McQuiston noted Ferrari’s focus on EMS training and said the department expects Ferrari to continue work on improving service and safety levels.
No formal vote by the council is recorded in the transcript; the swearing-in was administered as part of the meeting’s ceremonial and personnel business.
Ending: The meeting moved from the swearing-in to a series of public hearings and routine agenda items.
