Troy ManeyCLEVELAND, Tenn. – Bradley County Fire & Rescue veteran Troy Maney will be the department’s chief, succeeding Dewey Woody, who accepted a job with the state fire marshal’s office last October.
In an announcement late Monday, county Mayor D. Gary Davis told the County Commission it “is now time for Bradley County Fire & Rescue to turn over a new leaf or a new page, so to speak, as we lay the foundation … for making [it] one of the top fire departments in Tennessee.”
Maney, who has served as deputy chief for the department, has more than 30 years of management experience, including personnel, payroll and accounting work, Davis said. He also assisted with the merger of the Charleston and county fire departments.
Efforts to reach Maney Tuesday were unsuccessful.
Although the commission confirmed Davis’ choice in a 14-0 vote, Commissioner Ed Elkins expressed disappointment with the selection process.
