11/01/2006: "Chief McLaughlin To Move On"

After 16 years of service, San Juan County Fire District #3 Chief Bill McLaughlin will be pursuing new career opportunities. The department wishes him well.

Over the years, Bill has had many accomplishments with the department, such as expanding the department's wildland capabilities; developing the stations and the department's infrastructure; and adding new technologies, such as the compressed air foam system.

The District will be seeking to fill the position after the first of the year. Until the position is filled, Assistant Chief Brad Creesy will serve as the Acting Chief.
