Ruston fire chief reports steady staffing, promotes Captain Waliany to assistant chief
Summary
Fire Chief Bruce Allen said the department is staffed at 22 of 25 positions, has two calls so far this month, expects three firefighters to begin EMT training at month-end, and promoted Captain Waliany to Assistant Chief while reminding the council of an April 4 community Easter event.
Fire Chief Bruce Allen told the council that the Ruston Fire Department had a relatively slow month — only a few calls last month and two calls so far this month — and that staffing stood at 22 of 25 positions. He said three firefighters are scheduled to enter EMT training at the end of the month, a step he described as important given current needs.
Allen announced the promotion of Captain Waliany to the position of Assistant Chief; Waliany will continue in the MSO role. The chief also reminded the council the department will host an Easter egg event on April 4 at 10 AM. Councilmembers thanked the fire department for its work.
