After 10 years of serving the Milwaukee Fire Department, Chief Mark Rohlfing is retiring.
"The amazing thing is I’m not actually an emotional person," Rohlfing said.
Milwaukee Fire Chief Mark Rohlfing is hanging up his fire hat.
"We didn’t think we’d be here 10 years, but it went by very quickly," he said.
Rohlfing came to Milwaukee in May 2010 with 27 years of fire service.
He was the first chief to be appointed from outside the department.
"I didn’t make it great, I just provided some perspective. But I came to a great organization and I can continue to feel that way," he said.
During his time in Milwaukee, the chief developed a wellness program addressing the physical and mental health of his firefighters.
Friday, the chief was sent off in MFD style.
