City Of Sand Springs Appoints New Fire Chief

The City of Sand Springs announced the appointment of Justin Hall as the city's new Fire Chief.

Chief Hall's career in fire service began in 1995 when he began serving as a volunteer. Hall took on a paid position with the Catoosa Fire Department in 2001 and in 2005 he joined the Sand Springs Fire Department serving as both Vice-President and President of the IAFF before being selected to serve as the Deputy Fire Chief in 2011.

His constant attention to the safety of our community and his loyalty to the men and women with which he serves, stand out as the major reasons that he has been selected for this responsibility.”

Chief Hall will replace Fire Chief Mike Wood following his retirement earlier in the year.
