Middletown plans to fill 3 fire department vacancies
Middletown will fill three fire department vacancies due to two resignations and one retirement. William Flisher resigned in June 1957 after three years, Willard Knight left last April after three years, and Robert M. Lukens retired after 23 years as assistant fire chief. Virgil Combs, 62, was hired as a fireman effective July 12, replacing Lukens in part. The city aims to appoint top applicants from the current eligibility list after interviews, potentially raising the department toward its 67-member strength with City Commission approval.
