Whitehouse Passes the Torch to Chief Francis

Recently, the Whitehouse Fire Department welcomed its new Fire Chief, Jason Francis. Chief Hartbarger is moving “uptown” to Village Hall and assuming his new role as the Chief Operating Officer for the Village of Whitehouse. Chief Francis was sworn in by Mayor Atkinson and Chief Hartbarger took his last ride home in Truck 85.

Under Chief Hartbarger’s leadership, the fire department has expanded its Advanced Life Support Services, increased full-tim e staffing, and expanded operations into a Co-Op with the City of Waterville Fire Department. We look forward to seeing continued forward progress and improvement in our department and operations under the leadership of Chief Francis.
