The City of Burlington announced Tuesday that Alan Babe, a 21-year veteran of the Raymond Fire and Rescue Department, will be the new city fire chief.
Babe “worked his way up through the ranks,” according to a press release issued Tuesday morning, serving as a firefighter, captain and assistant chief. He has also served two terms as the president of the Racine County Fire Chief’s Association.
Babe replaces interim chief Mark Strasser, who replaced Perry Howard – who resigned right before Christmas in 2015 after numerous personnel conflicts. Babe is scheduled to be sworn in June 21 at the Common Council meeting following the official approval of his hiring.
