Steve Carman Promoted

The Richmond Heights Fire Department on Thursday announced on Facebook that interim chief, Steve Carman, has been officially promoted to fire chief.

Carman was promoted to interim chief in June when former chief, Kerry Hogan, retired after 38 years of service. Carman was a battalion chief before being named interim chief. He has been with the Richmond Heights Fire Department for 27 years.

The department congratulated Carman on Facebook: “Congratulations to Steve Carman on your official promotion to Fire Chief. It is well deserved and we couldn’t be happier. You have taught us a lot over the years and we look forward to you leading us for years to come.”
