It was a pleasure attending the swearing-in ceremony of new South Milwaukee Fire Chief Joe Knitter on Friday.
And I was far from alone. More than 100 people — including Joe’s family and dozens of firefighters from around the area and as far away as California — officially welcomed him to his new role.
I join them in that welcome.
This is a great choice, and I look forward to Joe’s tenure as chief. Congratulations!

The city did make an excellent choice!
I am glad to have attended my Instructor/ Friend and fellow Brother in firefighting swearing in ceremony.
Here’s to more years on top of your 27 years already served Chief.
