Cecil Township Plans To Hire Fire Chief

Cecil Township Supervisors welcomed the public back to their meetings on Monday night. For the first time in several months meetings were open to public attendance. One item of particular interest was the approval to begin the hiring process of a Township Fire Chief. Supervisor Chairperson Cindy Fisher says that the position will be one of organization and coordination. One of the responsibilities will be the oversight of fire department funds. Cecil Township does not have one distinct fire department. It is served by three separate and totally independent fire departments that are responsible for their own existence. Fisher indicated that she met with the three chiefs last week and she felt supported in the township’s decision to go forward. The position will be a paid township position. Hiring will be done through advertisements and qualifications set forth by the civil service. Fisher says they hope to have the new chief in place in the next several months.
