Hendersonville's fire department has welcomed a new, but familiar community member from Western North Carolina to its Life Safety Division.
The city announced Ted Williams as the department's new fire marshal, after having previously served seven years as the Town of Weaverville Fire Chief. “Fire Marshal Williams brings valuable knowledge and experience to this position,” said Hendersonville Fire Chief D. James Miller in a press release from June 27. “His deep commitment to serving the community aligns directly with the Hendersonville Fire Department’s mission and values.” The city's release notes that Fire Marshal Williams has more than 30 years of fire service experience, having started out as a volunteer in 1992 and serving as Leicester Fire Chief, then Deputy Chief and Fire Chief in Weaverville and now Hendersonville’s Fire Marshal.
