Fire Chief Ron Fowler sits down with Assistant City Manager Lisa Hollowell at Fire Station One to open our Monroe Fire series. A Monroe native, Chief Fowler reflects on more than four decades of service, from the public safety days of working both police and fire to leading a department that has grown from 22 people to nearly 110. He shares what the recent station renovations mean for the firefighters who essentially live there, and gives a tour of Station One that includes the City's original 1886 steam fire engine.
