The Williston City Commission approved the appointment of Matt Clark as Williston’s new Fire Chief in June, officially introducing him at the July 13 public meeting.
Originally from Helena, Montana, Clark has been with the Williston Fire Department since 2015 and was promoted to the second-in-command position in 2019. Clark was at training and unable to attend June's Commission meeting, but appeared Tuesday before the Commission for his first public introduction.
Clark was joined by his family in the John Kautzman Commission Room, as Commissioner Tate Cymbaluk introduced Clark as the City's new fire chief, sharing his support for Clark's promotion.
"The role you're taking on is more than just providing service to this community, but it's also to your family," Cymbaluk told Clark.
