Selma fire chief applicants

From The Selma News:

14 apply for Selma Fire Chief's job
By Kelly Lake, News Editor 03.AUG.07

Selma Town Manager Stan Farmer said today (Friday) that the town has received 14 applications for the fire chief's position advertised last month.

The successful applicant will replace current fire chief Joe Price.

He said two or three applicants were from out-of-state, four or five live in Johnston County and the rest are from elsewhere in North Carolina.

Farmer will now decide how to proceed with interviews. He is currently gathering information about using an assessment center to choose the right applicant for the job.

"Right now, I'm talking with people who can educate me on that process," said Farmer. "It is more in depth than an interview."

When asked if current Selma firemen are among the applicants, Farmer said he could not devulge the identities of the applicants.
