Kuzminski said she was “humbled and honored” to be given the opportunity to continue her career in Moraine.
“I am thankful and excited than I can continue to serve the citizens of Moraine,” she said.
Kuzminski will be paid an annual salary of $126,089. She was appointed deputy chief in July and has been with the city since 2004. Kuzminski was with West Carrollton from 1998 to 2004.
She replaces David Cooper, who was named fire chief in 2016 and spent 36 years with Moraine before he retired at the end of September.
The application process to fill the deputy fire chief position started Thursday, according to Aaron Vietor, the city’s spokesman.
The Moraine Fire Division began as an all volunteer department, once a part of the former Van Buren Twp. The city incorporated in 1957, and in 1977, Moraine established a full-time fire department to serve the needs of a growing city, according to the department’s website. The city’s current population is 6,000.
Moraine averages over 3,000 incidents a year and covers nearly 10 square miles that include an airpark, industrial areas, two major rail services, a major highway, a state route and the Miami River.
