Mayor Carter Hendricks is recommending Steve Futrell to become interim chief of the Hopkinsville Fire Department until a successor is named to the recently retired chief Freddie Montgomery.
An executive order on Tuesday’s Hopkinsville City Council agenda would make Futrell, currently serving as deputy chief, the interim chief.
The order says Futrell will remain in that position until the process for a new fire chief is completed.
Montgomery retired July 31 and became Clarksville’s fire chief the following day.
