Cincinnati,OH – Cincinnati's Fire chief has announced he will retire at the beginning of next year. 59 year old Robert Wright has been with the fire department for 36 years, the last 12 as its chief.
Wright says the city is close to 80 square miles in size. His fire Department employs 841 firefighters and 34 civilians. The Chief is responsible for 26 fire stations and a training center. With a budget once as high as 78 million dollars, it's like managing a small corporation.
