Commissioners' Comment, June 2008 #2

Kevin Lewis was named Director of the Washington County Division of Fire and Emergency Services on June 10th, by the Board of County Commissioners. Lewis, who served in the Acting Director Capacity for the past 6 months, was called on to manage two of the larger emergency incidents in recent years, the Boone Hotel Fire in February, and the severe wind storms of June 4th. Lewis talks about the two incidents, response from Fire and EMS companies, the Emergency Operations Center and interaction with state agencies. Lewis also oversees implementation of the County's Emergency Medical Services Master Plan. That plan is underway and Phase I is nearing completion, Lewis says.
