KINGMAN – The City of Kingman is apparently losing its Fire Chief. The City of Buckeye is hiring Jake Rhoades to join its fire department administration, currently in an interim chief posture.
Information, at this point, is not available through Rhoades or City Hall. However, the public information officer for Buckeye confirms a Rhoades hiring scenario is in play. According to a press release, Chief Rhoades will begin his new assignment as Buckeye’s Fire Chief on Dec. 6.
“My goals for the Buckeye Fire and Medical Rescue Department are to continue and to support the excellent work achieved by staff under the leadership of Bob Costello,” said Rhoades. “Through strategic planning and building collaborative relationships with the community, region, and other city departments, I look forward to serving the city of Buckeye as it continues to grow.”
