New Springs Commissioner

The Springs Fire District Board of Fire Commissioners has a new member. Jerry Sheehan was appointed on Monday night to fill the vacancy left when Chris Harmon resigned last month. Mr. Sheehan is a 32-year member of the Springs Fire Department and a former chief. He is the president of the department’s benevolent association and works as a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning technician at Schenck Fuels.

Mr. Harmon was re-elected to a second five-year term at the end of last year. He has since sold his house in Springs. If Mr. Sheehan wishes to remain on the board for the rest of Mr. Harmon’s term, he will have to run for election in December.
