Chief Larry Gillen continued:
Larry has since then worked his way up the ranks to Assistant Chief and held that position for five years. Acting Chief Mike VanNess decided it was time that he step down. Chief VanNess new it would be best that Larry, with his wealth of experience, leadership skills and training that he would be the best person to take command. That became reality. Since then Chief Gillen set the goal bar high. Working together with the members the first goal he set out for was to purchase a Tanker Truck that was needed to supply additional water on the fire ground. A Tanker Truck is now at Riverton Fire Company ready to deliver that extra water that is so crusal on the fire ground. This is just one of many goals that Chief Gillen has set and accomplished that benefits the community that he so proudly serves.
