Potential New Fire Chief Had Messy Break-Up With D.C.

We noted in today’s Morning Roundup that Vince Gray is reportedly set to announce that he will replace outgoing D.C. Fire and EMS Chief Dennis Rubin with former D.C. deputy fire chief Kenneth Ellerbe, who is currently working as the chief of Sarasota, Florida’s fire department. Ellerbe has a long history with D.C. Fire and EMS, even having served as the department’s interim chief for four months in 2000. Ellerbe, however, didn’t have the cleanest transition when he left the District earlier this year.
