A NOTE FROM FIRE AND EMS CHIEF DANIEL MEEHAN, 8 30 15
With a new chief comes new ideas. Many departments experiencing growing pains will see some members resign while still others will be let go. I understand that it is difficult for some members to think that change is good. But this is part of the process. Staying status quo is not what’s best for the department and will not move the department forward. Implementing these changes will take some time and will also take members who can adapt to change.
Dan Roy resigned months ago, saying it was time for a change for him.

Eric Neubert and I had some different ideas on how and where the department goes was part of decision. I would like to take this time to thank Eric for his dedicated service to the members, community and department.
Since becoming the Chief of the Lebanon Fire and Rescue a lot has happened.
All OSHA infractions at the Rescue have been addressed and corrected saving the town $1000’s. The $2000 billings from outside EMS communities have been dropped and we have staffed the ambulance.

I, for one, have seen change in my career, some good, some not so good, but in all, it is the members and service that I enjoy. This being said, I do not expect any voids being open long, I am in talks with some very knowledgeable and talented Fire/EMS people who are also very interested in helping Lebanon Fire-EMS move forward.
Respectively,
Chief Meehan
