Two men with experience as fire chiefs will interview in person Friday for the same job at the city of Lewiston.
Jay Wittwer previously was the city of Tukwila, Wash., fire chief before the position was absorbed when the department became part of a larger fire district, said Carol Maurer, the city of Lewiston’s public information officer.
Scott Goodwin most recently was the interim fire chief with the city of Rio Vista, Calif., between San Francisco and Sacramento. Goodwin took the California position understanding it was interim, Maurer said.
Goodwin owns and operates Comtac Training, a professional consulting company that specializes in public safety issues, according to a news release issued today by the city of Lewiston.
The city announced the names today after interviewing a pool of eight candidates remotely by video Friday. One applicant withdrew from the running after the interview. Another, who had been selected as one of three finalists, dropped out today.
