The City of Henderson has selected Battalion Chief Tim Twisdale as chief of the Henderson Fire Department.
Twisdale has worked for more than 20 years with the department, and “is a very valuable asset for our city,” according to an announcement posted on social media Wednesday.
Interim Fire Chief Curtis Tyndall retired effective July 1, and City Manager Terrell Blackmon hinted last week that an announcement of a new chief was imminent.
Tyndall was deputy fire chief and stepped in as interim chief following the death of Chief Steve Cordell, who died in January.
The post on social media went on to say that “although we will miss both of them dearly, we must move forward for our community and our department. Change is inevitable, but great things can come from change.”
