Alan Stoll became full-time fire chief for the city of Winfield Monday after having served in an interim chief role for nearly 17 months.

We have some great members within the organization and we expect to continue to move forward.”

Stoll began employment with the City of Winfield Fire Department in 1990. He also serves as the chairperson of the Cowley County 911 board, serves on the regional arson strike force, is a board member on the South Central Kansas Fire Alliance, and serves on the Task Force 5 committee.
