Teller County Commissioners have appointed two new members to the Florissant Fire Board.
Starla Thompson and Amanda Sutton were appointed unanimously by the board last week. Thompson is a certified emergency medical technician, and Sutton was the former general supervision manager at the Colorado Office of Early Childhood.
The county received fourteen applications for the two positions.
Back in April, former Fire Chief Michael Bailey was placed on administrative leave after a mass resignation of Florissant Fire board members. Bailey was fired in May.
Erik Holt has been serving as the Interim Fire Chief.
