Heartfelt congratulations to Ken Shuck, a consummate professional.
Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to see Chief Shuck in action on many occasions, both in the field and as an administrator, and I feel confident in saying that our city is extremely fortunate to have such true talent upon which it can safely and comfortably rely.
Best wishes to Ken Shuck on the well deserved new assignment!
Chief Shuck has the experience and knowledge to assume the command. He is involved in the community and cares for the people in the community. We are fortunate to have him. While it is sad to lose Chief Scott Fergusen, there is no other fireman more capable to fill and surpass the former Fire Chief’s position than Chief Shuck.
