Roberto Ortiz was sworn in as a volunteer fire inspector during the Park Ridge City Council meeting on Jan. 13. Mayor Michagna administered the oath, which Ortiz repeated, promising to "faithfully, impartially, and justly perform all the duties of the office of Park Ridge Fire Inspector." Attendees, including the mayor and council members, congratulated Ortiz.

The mayor noted former Chief John Hanson was present for the ceremony. The swearing followed council reports and routine business, and the meeting adjourned shortly afterward.

Why it matters: swearing in a volunteer fire inspector ensures the borough fills an operational role that supports fire prevention and inspection duties in the community. The ceremony was brief and ceremonial and did not prompt further discussion or policy action at the meeting.
