The City of Belleville has announced Kyle Christopher as the city’s new Deputy Fire Chief.
Christopher officially begins his role of Deputy Chief today where he will oversee fire prevention, training, fleet maintenance, strategic projects and emergency management, alongside co-Deputy Chief Mark Shannon.
He takes over the role left vacant after the passing of Deputy Fire Chief Jim Young.
