(KNOX) – Fargo’s new Fire Chief has been sworn in by the city.

Gary Lorenz had been the fire chief in Grand Forks since 2018. He was previously part of the Fargo Fire Department for 28 years, rising to the rank of Assistant Chief.

The City of Fargo began searching for a new fire chief after former Fire Chief Steven Dirksen announced his retirement in May.

Lorenz was sworn in this week as the new Fargo Fire Chief.
