The Town of Brownsburg Fire Territory Executive Board convened on August 8, 2025, to discuss key personnel matters, including the hiring process for new firefighters. The meeting began with a clarification regarding the inclusion of a retiring firefighter in the hiring list. It was confirmed that the list does include this individual.
The Chief of the Fire Territory addressed the board, noting that while there is a provision in the merit rules allowing him to select a candidate of his choice, he opted to follow the established list for hiring. This decision was met with approval from the board.
A motion was presented to approve the Chief's recommendation regarding the hiring list, which would allow him to extend eight employment offers. The board members voted on the motion, with the majority in favor, while one member opposed.
The meeting concluded with the board's support for the Chief's hiring decisions, reflecting a commitment to maintaining staffing levels within the Fire Territory. Further actions regarding the hiring process will be monitored in upcoming meetings.
