Green Bay Metro Fire
GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The Green Bay Police and Fire Commission is looking to hire its next fire chief internally.
Earlier this year, Fire Chief Matthew Knott announced he would be stepping away from the position to prioritize family.
On Tuesday, the commission revealed the two finalists:
- Ray Fuiten, 21-year veteran of the Green Bay Metro Fire Department, currently serving as Assistant Chief of Operations and interim Co-Chief
- Eric Jeltema, 21-year veteran of the Green Bay Metro Fire Department, currently serving as Assistant Chief of EMS, Training, and Support Services and interim Co-Chief
Commission President Rod Goldhahn wrote:
After a thorough review of nearly 30 candidates from across the nation, the two most qualified to be our next Chief are already serving us. This speaks volumes for the quality of the men and women of our department and their ability to grow strong, respected leaders. The Green Bay Metro Fire Department is known for excellence in providing the citizens of Green Bay, Allouez, and Bellevue with Fire and EMS services. These two individuals have been instrumental in setting that standard over their years with Green Bay Metro and we are excited to choose one of them to continue that tradition as our next Chief.
A final selection will be made after in person interviews in June.
