The Fire Commission for Neenah-Menasha Fire Rescue has announced the future appointment of a new fire chief for the department.
Officials say that Travis Teesch, who has over 30 years of experience, will assume the role of fire chief for Neenah-Menasha Fire Rescue on January 6, 2024, following the retirement of current Fire Chief Kevin Kloehn.
Teesch began his career in 1993 as a volunteer with the Valders Fire Department in Manitowoc County. His full-time career began in 1999 with the Kaukauna Fire Department, where he worked his way up to the rank of Assistant Chief. He and his family moved out of the Fox Valley to assume the role of Fire Chief with the Watertown Fire Department.
“I’m pleased that our partnership with Neenah-Menasha Fire Rescue has allowed us to recruit such a highly qualified candidate,” said Menasha Mayor Don Merkes.
