Maurer has worked at Fire District 6 in some capacity for 26 years — starting as a line firefighter in June of 1999
“The only constant is change.”
It’s a quote that really resonates with Clark County Fire District 6 officials this week as Fire Chief Kristan Maurer has resigned her commission and is moving on to other challenges and opportunities. It’s a big adjustment for the district, considering that Maurer has worked in some capacity at Fire District 6 for 26 years — starting as a line firefighter in June of 1999.
In her final memo to District personnel Chief Maurer wrote “I am proud to have served our community and deeply appreciate the ongoing support they provide the District every day,” says Maurer. “I am extremely proud of where this department stands today and humbled to have played a role in its journey.”
Chief of Staff Darryl Hebert, will be the interim Fire Chief. “Chief Maurer’s leadership, vision, and unwavering commitment have left a lasting legacy on our organization and the community we serve,” says Chief Hebert. “I look forward to working alongside each of you as we continue our mission of protecting and serving our community.” District activities will continue as scheduled, including the annual Open House at Station 63, set for Saturday June 7 from noon to 3 p.m.
