Brawner stated: “I am looking forward to serving my community.” He went on to thank the public for their confidence in him to fill some pretty big shoes of former Fire Chief Scruggs, who passed away last month. Brawner also thanked the city council and Mayor Steve Jones for appointing him to this position.
