Moraine City Council on April 10 administered oath of office to two new members of the city’s fire department, Kyler Hughes and Austin Hoffman.

City officials and councilmembers congratulated the new firefighters and welcomed them to the department. Councilmembers noted the hires during report sections and thanked the department for service to the community.

Why it matters: staffing additions affect department capacity for emergency response and routine public-safety coverage.

What was said
During special presentations the council read short biographical remarks about each new hire. City and council remarks at the meeting welcomed the new members and expressed hopes they serve with the department for many years.

Next steps
The firefighters were welcomed to the department; no further council action was recorded.
