CITY COUNCIL New fire chief appointed

By Barbara Ellestad MLN

After a tumultuous year in the Mesquite Fire and Rescue Department, the Mesquite City Council appointed Jason Andrus as the newest fire chief on Tuesday, Feb. 13. Andrus, an 11-year veteran of the Mesquite Fire Department, takes the helm as a seven-month temporary appointment of Mesquite Police Chief Troy Tanner as Fire Administrator comes to an end. The Mesquite City Council and City Manager Andy Barton assigned Tan- ner to the administrator position last July in an attempt to bring order to the department after the former Fire Chief Kash Christopher was relieved of his post in May 2017amid turmoil. As part of his temporary duties, Barton charged Tanner with finding a suit- able fire chief within the current ranks of the department rather than looking Barbara Ellestad for a new chief outside the department.
