The City of Niceville has announced that Alex Kukulus will take over as Fire Chief. Mr Kukulus, who brings nearly three decades of experience in the fire service, is scheduled to officially begin his new role on Friday, July 18.

Kukulus previously served with Truckee Meadows Fire & Rescue in Reno, Nevada, rising through every rank before retiring as Deputy Fire Chief in 2022. He also holds 25 years of experience as a paramedic.

For the past three years, Mr Kukulus has lived in Navarre with his wife, Breanne, and their teenage twins, Mason and Madison.
