The Board of Directors of the Sherwood Forest Fire District has officially accepted the retirement of Wayne Marx as our Fire Chief effective June 30, 2020. A formal Transfer of Command ceremony will be performed at that time.
Additionally a public recognition and celebration of Wayne’s lengthy service period to our department and the community will be held.
To facilitate the command transition the Fire Board shall appoint an Interim Fire Chief in the near future. It is the duty and responsibility of all members of the SFEFD to ensure the Fire District maintains an effective fire, rescue, and EMS capability during this command transition period. The residents of our Fire District and the tax payers deserve no less. Therefore to facilitate a professional transfer of leadership you are directed to work with, assist, and fully cooperate with the Interim Fire Chief throughout this period.
Your individual supportive efforts during this period will not only enable ongoing improvements to our Fire Department but will serve as a public example of your personal professionalism, dedication to the fire service, and commitment to those residents of the communities we serve.
Signed,
