Kevin Stansfield has traded his yellow fireman’s helmet for a red helmet, signifying his promotion to captain. Chief Mike Napolitano said Great Bend Fire Department has a total of six captains — one for each shift at each station — and when Capt. Steve Root transferred to the Great Bend Park Department it created an opening. Seven firefighters applied for the position.
