Huron promotes Dan Soisson to fire captain, Kevin Bower to lieutenant

Huron has promoted Dan Soisson to fire captain and Kevin Bower to lieutenant after a competitive process to fill vacancies following a retirement.

Both were sworn in at Tuesday's City Council meeting, according to the city's Oct. 16 announcement.

Soisson previously was a lieutenant, and Bower was a firefighter. The city says the process included written and oral examinations administered by the Ohio Fire Chiefs and that the two earned the top scores.

Their responsibilities will include emergency operations, supervising personnel and training, the announcement says.

The city did not identify the retiring employee in its announcement.
