Hinesburg begins search for full-time fire chief HABIB SABET STAFF WRITER
The role of Hinesburg fire chief will transition into a full-time position, which the town expects to fill by late summer. The change, which was approved by the selectboard last week, followings fire chief
Nick Baker’s announcement that he will be stepping down from his position, which he has been serving in a part-time capacity since the spring of 2021. “Moving forward, I think if we were to continue to have a part-time chief, we’re functional, but we’re missing some items here,” Baker told selectboard members
ahead of Monday’s vote. “As the town continues to grow, the demands for the fire department’s services and also the demands on whoever the fire chief is — they’re still growing.” Baker has been leading the Hinesburg Fire Department while holding a separate full-time job, and he suggested that he
decided to step down to have more time for his family. The transition to a full time-position comes, in part, because of Baker’s experience trying to perform the job within the time granted by a part-time role. See FIRE CHIEF on page 12
