Fort Myers Beach Fire Department

(KNSI) – St. Cloud has selected its next fire chief.

Fort Myers Beach Fire Chief Matthew Love will take over the St. Cloud Fire Department on December 6th. According to a press release, St. Cloud Mayor Dave Kleis chose Love after a national search by the Western Fire Chief’s Association.

Love has been a firefighter since 1997 and has been chief since 2009. He’s worked in Colorado Springs and Fort Myers, Florida.

Chief Love was selected by the Fire Chiefs’ Association of Lee County, Florida, as Fire Chief of the Year in February 2019.

The Colorado Springs Fire Department also awarded Chief Love for creating the Firefighter Seatbelt Safety Program, “25 Percent- Simply Preventable.” This program gained national attention.

Love replaces Interim Fire Chief Bill Mund, who took over after Fire Chief Dean Wrobbel retired. The St. Cloud Fire Department is made of 70 firefighters.
