Eagan Now: A Lifetime of Achievement with Chief Searle

I'd like to say thank you to the city for putting their trust in me to lead this department. Being a firefighter was my dream when I was a little kid and then somebody said to me you know I think that you'd make a good firefighter and I thought to myself that's what I wanted to be when I was a kid so that's when I switched my careers. I came a firefighter. Egan has a full-time career-only professional fire department that responds to over 7,000 calls put that perspective just six years ago it was you know 1800 calls.
