Chief Douglas Chappell told the Drexel Heights Fire District Governing Board on Aug. 22 that two firefighters resigned this week and two others plan to retire in December. Chappell identified the resignations as Firefighter Anthony Duarte, effective the day of the meeting, and Firefighter Nathan Hoyle, effective Sept. 27, 2025. He said Firefighter John McGinn and Captain Mike Dellerman plan to retire in December.
Chappell submitted a written report that was made part of the minutes and highlighted recent operational responses, including a palm-tree rescue in the Golder Ranch District, a trench rescue in Midvale, and a trash fire in Star Valley. The minutes do not record additional staffing or replacement decisions; the board did not take formal personnel action during the meeting.
