A change is on the horizon at the Sturgeon Bay Fire Department as they look for an interim fire chief. Appointing a temporary replacement for the retiring Fire Chief Tim Dietman is on the agenda for Monday’s City of Sturgeon Bay Police and Fire Commission meeting. Dietman has served as the city’s fire chief since he was hired to replace Tim Herlache. 

"It should go without saying that the City is, at once, delighted and disheartened to announce the retirement of Fire Chief Tim Dietman," said Sturgeon Bay City Administrator Josh Van Lieshout. "Chief Dietman has served as Chief of the Sturgeon Bay Fire Department since 2016.  Before serving as Fire Chief, Chief Dietman served as assistant chief and firefighter; he has worked with the Fire Department since 2000.  Chief Dietman’s retirement is our loss, but a well-deserved respite for him.  Please extend your best wishes to Chief Dietman in his new endeavors."

The commission will meet at 4 p.m. Monday in the city hall's community room.
