January 14 – Former Chisholm Fire Chief Bob Brown will return to the fire chief’s position on February 1. By a unanimous vote, the Chisholm City Council said Brown was the person they wanted back at the helm. Brown returns after about a three year absence from the department. “I am looking forward to the challenge,” Brown told The Northland Fire Wire. “It’s good to be back.” In addition to his fire chief position, Brown is the president of the Arrowhead Regional Firefighters’ Association (ARFA). He is also past president of the Minnesota State Fire Chiefs’ Association (MSFCA).
