After nearly 25 years in the position, Sister Bay/Liberty Grove Fire Chief Chris Hecht is retiring from his post. Hecht is still on the mend after suffering a medical episode during an Indianapolis conference five months ago that was later diagnosed as a ruptured brain aneurysm. He has served much of his life in public service, joining Door County Emergency Medical Services in the late 1980s before joining the Sister Bay/Liberty Grove Fire Department as a firefighter in 1992. In the department’s announcement, Hecht was saluted for creating the countywide CPR program and forming a county response team with the assistance of the Door County Fire Chiefs Association. Assistant Fire Chief Mike Goldstone, who joined the department in 1999, has been elevated to the Fire Chief post due to Hecht’s retirement.
