With the future retirement of Asst. Chief Arlon Long of the Sullivan Fire Department, the opening was filled by candidate Matthew Cummings.

This open position has also created the need for promotions within the Sullivan Fire Department. Shannon Miller has moved to an open captain’s position that was caused by the promotion of Larry Edwards to the asst. chief’s position.

Edwards is currently working as the interim asst. chief until the official retirement of asst. chief Long on December 15 at which time Edwards will become the official asst. chief of the Sullivan Fire Protection District.

Miller has been with the Sullivan Fire District since November 2003. He started as a volunteer and was hired full time on July 5, 2005.

Cummings is a Sullivan resident and graduated from Sullivan High School in 2002. He has been a volunteer with the Sullivan Fire District since April 4, 2011.
