When Brent Smith was appointed as the next Great Bend Fire Chief in June
that left an opening for the deputy chief position. City Administrator Brandon
Anderson said the deputy chief job has been advertised internally. Current
staff members have until Aug. 10 at 4 p.m. to voice their
interest in the position.
"Brent is in the process of working with his department and looking internally to see if they can fill that position," said Anderson. "There will be more news to come at a later date on that."
Smith was hired in July 2019 to serve as the deputy chief. When former fire
chief Luke McCormick resigned this past February, Smith was named interim fire
chief until his appointment this summer.
