Johns has served with the Versailles Fire Department since 2003 with a Level II Firefighter Certification and EMT Certification.
He has held the position of Assistant Fire Chief for the past several years and served as a part-time interim Fire/EMS Chief this past fall after the unexpected passing of prior Fire/EMS Chief Brian Pearson.
The fire department was called out twice prior to the swearing-in ceremony, resulting in the fire personnel being in partial gear.
