Deputy Chief Todd Wisner named Flint Hill Fire chief; outgoing chief to stay on as consultant

The Flint Hill Fire Tax Board unanimously voted Jan. 2 to appoint Deputy Chief Todd Wisner as the new chief of the Flint Hill Fire Department, effective Jan. 12, 2026, and to retain Chief David Jennings as a full-time consultant through April 17, 2026 to assist with the transition. The board made the decisions during a regular meeting at the Flint Hill Fire Department’s Station 1 conference room.

Randy McCurry, who called the meeting to order, moved the motion to announce Wisner as the new chief; Mike Knight seconded the motion and the board approved it unanimously. Ira Coltharp moved—and Scott Kendrick seconded—a separate motion to have Jennings continue as a full-time consultant through April 17, 2026; that motion also passed by a unanimous vote. Earlier in the meeting the board approved minutes from its Dec. 18 meeting (motion by McCurry, seconded by Knight) and held an executive session to review personnel matters before emerging to make the appointments.

The minutes direct Deputy Chief Todd Wisner to develop a transition plan and to provide bi-weekly written updates on transition progress. The minutes also record that meetings motions were passed unanimously and that the meeting adjourned at 7:05 p.m. The minutes note the meeting date as Jan. 2, 2026 and list the attendees; they also include the declaration that the meeting was called to order by Randy McCurry. The minutes contain a timing inconsistency (the text records the session as meeting at “6:00PM” in one line and being called to order at “5:00 PM” in another); the minutes themselves are the source of both time entries.

The minutes were recorded by Secretary Scott Kendrick. No votes recorded in the minutes showed dissent or abstentions.
