FRANKLIN — The Joint Emergency Medical Services District board has whittled down the list of candidates to six semifinalists for the chief’s position.
The board, which oversees emergency medical services for Franklin, Carlisle and Franklin Twp., narrowed the search from the original 28 candidates who applied, including the current chief, Brandon Saylor, who did not make the cut of six semifinalists, said JEMS board member and Franklin Councilman Jason Faulkner.
The six semifinalists are: Richard Fletcher of Mason, Keith Kahler of Put-In-Bay, Robert Kidd of Centerville, Ray Mueller of Mason, Daryl Norviel of Dayton and Andrew Riddiough of Franklin.
The semifinalists will go through an assessment July 7, which is the next step of the process. A new chief could be selected by late summer, Faulkner said.
The board is being assisted with the search by the Ohio Fire Chief’s Association.
