Clinton Fire Chief Mark Ruosch has been in fire service for nearly 30 year and plans to make changes at the department to improve services and training opportunities. Rousch was named chief on March 17 by the Clinton Fire Protection District Board after nine candidates were considered for the position in December of 2019. Rousch is the current Village of Sharon Chair and the Edgerton native started with Sharon Fire and Rescue in 1992. He was named chief there in 1999, where he served for 14 years. During the pandemic, Rousch said the department adapted to the new normal of increased cleaning and an emphasis on personal protective equipment.
