Thank you Chief Kevin <br />Colvard, you will be <br />greatly missed! <br />W. <br />I� 1` <br />v <br />rv� � <br />N&O <br />Chief Kevin Colvard served for 20 years on the <br />Hugo Fire and Rescue team; the last 8 years as our <br />Chief. To say that Kevin was involved in the fire depart- <br />ment is an understatement. There is not one thing at <br />c; <br />HFD that Kevin hasn't been an integral part of. <br />As we say goodbye to Chief Colvard we know he has <br />left the department in good hands with Chief Jim <br />Compton Jr. The City of Hugo continues to grow <br />and Chief Compton will continue the tradition of <br />excellent leadership as the department evolves to serve <br />our community. <br />Chief Compton is a fourth -generation community <br />servant. His father, Jim Compton Sr., was also a long- <br />time Hugo Fire Department member and former Chief. <br />Chief Jim Compton Jr. has been a member of the Hugo <br />Fire Department since 2001 serving as a Lieutenant, <br />Captain, Deputy Chief and now the Chief. <br />With Chief Compton's promotion, Assistant Chief <br />Dave Jensen was promoted to Deputy Chief. <br />Deputy Chief Jensen has been on the department <br />since 2007 serving as an Emergency Services Planner, <br />Lieutenant, Assistant Chief, and now Deputy Chief. <br />Smoke/CO Detectors <br />Please be mindful to change your smoke and carbon <br />monoxide detector batteries. A good way to remember <br />this is to check your expiration dates and batteries every <br />time you change your clocks for daylight savings!. <br />Please remember that detectors have a shelf life <br />of eight to ten years and NEED to be replaced. <br />t <br />(Top and bottom photos, left to right) <br />Chief Jim Compton Jr., retired Chief Kevin Colvard, and Deputy Chief Dave Jensen <br />
