Morehead’s fire chief will continue his role as a local representative to a state-wide association.
Chief Jeff Anderson was re-elected as the 9th District Vice President for the Kentucky Association of Fire Chiefs at their 2021 Leadership Conference, where he has represented the region of Morehead for almost eight years.
“I think honestly being a watch dog for the fire service is one of the biggest things that the fire chiefs do,” said Anderson, who has served as Morehead’s fire chief for 12 years. The KAFC represents every county throughout 14 regions and has encouraged education, leadership and support for fire services in Kentucky.
Anderson represents 68 fire departments across ten counties in his region.
“It’s an honor,” said Anderson. “One of the biggest things we do is really legislation. There are things that get into bills and legislation that could be harmful or good for us.”
