The Sturgeon Bay Police and Fire Commission has named Kalin Montevideo as the city’s new fire chief. Montevideo has served the role on an interim basis since former fire chief Tim Dietman retired in February. In a statement, Montevideo said it is an absolute privilege to lead the Sturgeon Bay Fire Department. “I will endeavor to do my best to provide the solid leadership they deserve and will carry on our legacy of providing efficient and high-quality service to the City and outlying towns of Sturgeon Bay and Sevastopol,” Montevideo said. Sturgeon Bay Police and Fire Commission Chair Wayne Spritka said throughout Montevideo’s career and interview process that “she exhibited the leadership qualities we believe are necessary to carry the department forward.” Montevideo has been with the department since 1999, serving as the assistant fire chief since 2015.
