Templeton Fire Chief Jim Langborg leaving for Texas
Templeton Fire Chief Jim Langborg announced Monday that he will be leaving Templeton for a position as Fire Chief in El Paso County in Texas where he has been hired to start a new fire department.
“It was a huge decision and very difficult to make,” said Langborg in a letter to the Templeton Community Services District (TCSD) Board of Directors and General Manager Jeff Hodge.
Langboard was hired in 2010. “Our outgoing Chief has accomplished a great deal in his 2 ½ years at the helm – in spite incredibly challenging circumstances,” says Templeton journalist Nanette Fisher.
“It is important that we as a community take a look at what those circumstances were and who brought them about,” she says. “He leaves the department in good shape with an excellent future – if those who fought him at every juncture are stopped from further intervention.”
