Marshall County appoints volunteer deputy emergency manager Brian Anders
Summary
The Fiscal Court approved the appointment of Brian Anders, a fire chief with Kentucky State Police experience, as a volunteer deputy emergency manager to support interstate incident response and hazardous-materials events.
Marshall County Fiscal Court voted Oct. 7, 2025, to approve the appointment of Brian Anders as a volunteer deputy emergency manager.
Kurt (identified in the transcript as the county EM director) asked the court to approve Anders, describing him as a fire chief who also works for the Kentucky State Police and who brings hazardous-materials experience relevant to interstate incidents involving large commercial vehicles. "He'll be…one of my deputy EMs," Kurt said, adding that the position is voluntary with no county salary attached.
A commissioner moved to accept Anders as a deputy director; the motion was seconded and the court approved the appointment by voice vote.
Why it matters: The appointment expands the county's emergency-management capacity with a volunteer who brings hazmat and incident-response experience. County staff said Anders will assist with incidents on interstates and other events requiring specialized response.
Next steps: Anders is to be appointed as one of the county’s deputy emergency managers; Kurt indicated he would follow up with any required paperwork and orientation.
