for new fire chief ongoing
LIHUE — The Fire Commission would like to extend a heartfelt mahalo to Chief Robert
Westerman for his 20 years of outstanding public service, and congratulate him on his
retirement.
"Thank you to Chief Westerman for his dedication and service to our community, and for
setting a high standard for the Kauai Fire Department and our firefighters," said Thomas Nizo,
Fire Commission chair. "We wish him the best of luck in retirement."

leadership that Chief Westerman leaves behind.

Department," Fire Commission Chair Nizo added.
