Fire Department Jobs Still Open in Huron As Age Limit Raised
Huron officials keep three new fire department posts open after only one applicant from the first exam period. To widen the field, the city board raised the age limit from 35 to 45. Jobs include two truck drivers and possibly a combined inspector chief role. An out-of-town veteran who served on the carrier Wasp applied for the inspector post but is not yet fully recovered. The board weighs hiring a paid chief versus retaining volunteers, with a meeting set to hear objections from the volunteer group.
