WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) - The rapidly-growing city of Williston in North Dakota’s oil patch has hired a new fire chief.
The Williston Herald (https://bit.ly/1hpstch ) reports the city this week hired 38-year-old Jason Catrambone. He will begin his new job May 19.
Catrambone’s past experience includes fire chief at Spanish Peaks Bon Carbo Fire Protection District in Colorado and captain for fire and emergency services at Colorado’s Fort Carson. He also served as the fire chief for a private contractor company working in Iraq.
Williston’s hasty growth over the past five years has tested the capabilities of the fire department.
The city’s last fire chief resigned in January. Since then, the majority of the city’s paramedics unionized, calling for a new fire chief and additional help from the city.
