White County's new fire chief, Mike LeFevre, was sworn in this week by Public Safety Director David Murphy.
LeFevre, of Hall County, is a veteran firefighter and has worked part-time in White County since 2017 and has remained a crucial part of the county’s COVID-19 response, Murphy says.
Already, LeFevre has shared news of the addition of new firefighters to cover the area of Highway 129 North, improving response times to the area of White County High School.
“The goals are unending, I can tell you that right now,” LeFevre said. LeFevre said he plans to work with Murphy to build on the already solid department.
“I'm just here to add on to what has already taken place,” LeFevre said.
