CRFR final chief candidates<\/strong><\/p>\n

Billy Cockman – Jacksonville, Florida<\/p>\n

Dewey Coy – Jacksonville, Arkansas<\/p>\n

Christopher McCarthy – Castle Rock, Colorado <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

After months of searching, Colorado River Fire Rescue is down to three final candidates for its vacant fire chief position.<\/p>\n

The board will hold a public meet-and-greet with the finalists \u2014 Billy Cockman, Dewey Coy and Christopher McCarthy \u2014 at 4 p.m. on Thursday at Station 41 in Rifle before a final decision is made.<\/p>\n

Interim Chief Randy Callahan said the meet-and-greet will include a 45-minute Q&A with board members before the mingling begins.<\/p>\n

Callahan said CRFR conducted a nationwide search to find its new chief, as the Rifle-Silt-New Castle fire district looks to replace former chief Rob Jones. Jones stepped down at the end of 2018, and the search has taken several months to find the top candidates.<\/p>\n

Callahan said CRFR is looking for a progressive leader who is engaged and committed to the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur eyes are on the future,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Each of the candidates are or have been chief officers in their careers.<\/p>\n
