HAMILTON - Former Hamilton Fire Department Captain Eric Lynch was promoted to the position of assistant fire chief during the Hamilton City Council’s Monday, July 6, meeting.
The council unanimously voted to approve Lynch on the recommendation of HFD Chief Matthew McCracken. During remarks to the council, the chief referred to a memo he’d sent earlier to the mayor and city council.
“You have my full and complete endorsement that captain Eric Lynch should be promoted to the position of assistant chief for the City of Hamilton,” he said. “Eric has worked in the fire department for 20 years. He has served as a firefighter, as a lieutenant and currently serves as our captain.
“He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to this position, which will be leaned on heavily by me. He has great rapport and the respect of the command staff of the HFD and the line firefighters.”
