After two years as leader of the Dunn's Corners Fire Department, Christopher P. DeGrave is preparing to turn over the reins.
The 35-year-old fire chief, who joined the department in February 2018, submitted his resignation to Dunn’s Corners Fire District Operating Committee earlier this month. In a letter to members, which was read to the public during a meeting on March 11, DeGrave thanked the district for the opportunity to serve and reaffirmed his commitment to serving the community as they transition to new leadership.
"Unfortunately, the time has come to move-on to another career opportunity for both personal and professional reasons," DeGrave said. " I have agreed to continue as a part-time contracting employee in both an administrative and leadership capacity for the department transition. It is with hope that my actions demonstrate my continued commitment to the success of this organization.”
