The Centralia Fire Department has two new part-time firefighters.  Centralia Fire Chief, Jeff Day, introduced Nicholas Lynch of Odin and Matt Horn of Sandoval, to the large crowd of supporters gathered in the Council Chambers at Centralia City.

They were then sworn in by Centralia City Clerk, Kim Enke.

Lynch is a Lieutenant with the Odin Fire Department.  He has been with the department since 2015.

Horn is a Captain with the Sandoval Fire Department where he’s been a member since 2005.

They will serve when needed when all firefighters are called in to help at a fire.  Horn is already qualified to fill in for a shift where a regular on-duty firefighter is absent if needed.

Lynch is the son of retired Centralia Fire Chief, John Lynch, and son-in-law of Odin Fire Chief, Greg Smith.
