WYOMING, Mich. — Starting Jan. 1, 2024, a fire department veteran will take over the reins in Wyoming.
Deputy Chief Dennis Van Tassell has been with the department for 24 years, and the city announced Monday he was appointed acting Fire Chief effective in the new year.
Earlier this year, the City of Wyoming parted ways with former fire Chief Brian Benett.
The city says the previous Chief was argumentative instead of taking accountability, had a lack of respect for leadership and didn't engage with the public safety team.
