The city of Morehead has a new fire chief. Mayor David Perkins made the announcement at Monday’s city council meeting.

Jeff Anderson of Wilmore, Ky. will start work April 6. He currently serves as Wilmore Fire Department’s fire chief and works in the IT Department at Asbury College. He has been Wilmore’s fire chief for 17 years.

“Our investigations are they are upset with us for trying to take him under any conditions,” Perkins told the council.

“Well, they can pray for us,” Council member Al Baldwin said.

Anderson’s salary will be near $44, 452, Perkins said.

Anderson and his wife, Sandy, have two children, Amy, 23, and Kendall, 13. Jeff, Sandy and Kendall will eventually move to Morehead. Amy will continue to work at Kentucky Bank in Jessamine County.
