Fort Dodge Paper: WB Fire Chief Distorts Work Record

Posted on by

Click Here: “One of three men who was a finalist for the Fort Dodge fire chief position appears to have misrepresented his background by claiming to have work experience and education that he does not possess.

Michael Heim, the fire chief of West Burlington, made assertions about his background in information submitted to city officials and in public statements that representatives of the Kansas State Fire Marshal’s Office and Western Illinois University said Thursday are not correct.

Heim had claimed he was the deputy state fire marshal in Kansas and that he had three bachelor’s degrees.

”He is not in consideration for the job any longer,” Fort Dodge City Manager David Fierke said Thursday evening.”
