Noblesville Fire Chief Matt Mitchell spoke to the Lions Club on Wednesday regarding challenges the Fire Department faces today. His experience is varied, and he has a total of 32 years as a firefighter.
Seventy percent of the department’s runs are EMS versus 30 percent being fire/rescue response. The fire department works with other local agencies, including the Noblesville Police Department, in the Noble Act program that helps with mental health and social issues. Staffing is a current challenge for Noblesville Fire, as firefighter positions far outweigh applications.
