Fire department promotion list approved; Nick Johnston promoted to engineer
Summary
The board approved a competitive promotional eligibility list for a fire engineer position and the department announced Nick Johnston’s promotion from that list, describing a tightly contested process.
The fire department presented a competitive promotional process for one engineer vacancy and submitted the eligibility list for the board’s approval. The department described the process (written exam, driving evaluation, pump operations) and said the top five candidates were separated by very small margins.
"It was the tightest one I've ever seen," the fire representative said, adding the top five were separated by about 0.01 of one point. The board approved the eligibility list by voice vote.
The department also announced that firefighter Nick Johnston had been promoted to engineer from that list; staff described Johnston’s roughly seven years of service and involvement in apparatus design.
The board offered best wishes to those promoted and approved the list without recorded opposition.
