Here’s what Mayor Wendelsdorf had to say according to our News partner, KTVB…
“The Fire Chief position has been vacant since September 2021 and it was important for me to get this position filled with the best possible candidate. I knew coming into the Mayor role, this was going to be one of the toughest decisions I would need to make. Ultimately the interview board gave me the top applicants and Rick came out on top. As I got to know him more I was able to see why the board chose him as the top candidate and I have every confidence that he will be the right man for the job and be able to lead our fire department into the future and be able to serve our citizens well.””
Frawley moves here to Caldwell from California with his wife and his Bull Terrier dogs. Here’s a statement he made regarding his new position…
“I am very excited to join the Caldwell Fire family and serve this great community. I look forward to continuing a strong tradition of service to the community while we guide the organization through future growth. My wife and I are excited to be relocating near family in the area. My key goals and vision for the organization are for emergency service enhancements for the community and firefighter development and wellness.”
Welcome to the Treasure Valley Chief Frawley. We know you and your family will love it here and feel as blessed as we all do to live in this beautiful, little oasis.
