A Shelby County fire chief has been named to the same post to lead the Sugar Creek Township Fire Department.

 

Trustee Bob Boyer has appointed Brandon Kleine as fire chief for Sugar Creek Township Fire Department.

 

Kleine took over the position this week.

 

"I've been there 18 years, going on 19.  I'm excited.  I never really thought I'd see this at 40 years old.  My family is excited."

 

"We have a great group of people at Sugar Creek.  I'm excited to, hopefully, lead them into the future.  We're a growing community.  It's a great place to work.  I've never in the 18 years I've been there wanted to leave.  It's a great opportunity."

 

Kleine has served with the Sugar Creek Township Fire Department since September 2001, and has served as a Lieutenant, Captain, House Captain, and most recently Battalion Chief.

 

Kleine is currently also serving as chief of the Morristown Volunteer Fire Department.  He’ll continue in that role, as well.

 

The previous Sugar Creek chief, John Begovich, will continue to serve as a FF/Paramedic.
