Past, present firefighters make push for Schissler

Both retired and current Brighton firefighters voiced their support at last night's regular Greater Brighton Fire Protection District board of director's meeting for current Acting Fire Chief John Schissler to be named the new fire chief. They cited his more than two decades of service to the district and the way he has handled the interim position as reasons why. The district is in the midst of a nationwide search to find a new chief and hopes to have someone in place by the first week of June. Look for more on the meeting in the March 21 Brighton Blade.
