The Richmond Heights Fire Department
mourns the passing of retired fire chief Larry Santen. Chief Santen began
his career in 1951 as a private and worked his way through the ranks until he
was promoted to Fire Chief in 1980. During his tenure as chief of the
department (1980 to 1987), Chief Santen was very instrumental in taking the
department’s EMT’s and training them to the level of paramedics and
acquiring the needed equipment for them to perform their new duties. It
was his vision many years ago that has made our medical division of the
department what it is today.
