After 27 years of leading the Columbia Fire Department, Chief Mike Roediger celebrated his final day in that position on Thursday.

Though Roediger will continue to work with the department as fire administrator – handling much of the background operations – Casey Jahr stepped into the role of fire chief on Friday.

Read more on Roediger's extensive history with the department and his memories as fire chief in next week’s issue of the Republic-Times newspaper.

Last night, Maeystown 3612 participated in the annual “Light Up Glennon” event at Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital in St. Louis. Held each year since 2019, the event is a show of support for the children and families served by the hospital during the holiday season. We were proud to be joined by numerous surrounding departments from St. Louis City, St. Louis County, and departments across Metro East Illinois.
