Archbold EMS chief and paramedic submit retirements; village plans internal shifts and hires
Summary
Village Administrator Aaron Alt reported Fire & EMS Chief Dave Davis and paramedic Ada Davis have submitted retirements. The village said Shane Eicher is completing his medic license and will shadow the paramedic role; officials hope to add two EMTs and will interview four internal applicants this week.
Village officials announced personnel changes in the Fire & Emergency Medical Services department during the May 4 council meeting.
Village Administrator Aaron Alt reported that Fire & EMS Chief Dave Davis has submitted his retirement notice, and that paramedic Ada Davis is also retiring this year. Administrator Alt said Shane Eicher is finishing his medic license and will be shadowing the paramedic position as the department transitions. The village hopes to bring on two additional EMTs; interviews with four internal applicants are scheduled for the coming week.
The minutes record the staffing updates and internal candidate interviews but do not include dates for the retirements, replacement timelines, or budgetary impacts related to hiring. Council did not take formal action on staffing during the recorded session; the entry appears as a new‑business announcement from the administrator.
The village will proceed with internal interviews this week to fill EMT positions and rely on credentialing processes for medics before any permanent assignments are made.
