Promoted

Morning Journal/Mary Ann Grier

Salem Fire Lt. Brandon Lucas holds still while his wife, Jessica, pins on his new badge after Mayor John Berlin administered the oath of office for his promotion Thursday morning. Lucas earned the promotion from inspector to lieutenant after a civil service exam to fill a spot opened up when Capt. Steve Mix was promoted from lieutenant to captain. Lucas, who lives in Salem, joined the department as a full-time firefighter in June 2011 and was promoted to inspector in March 2016. The Carrollton High School graduate previously served as a volunteer with the Dellroy Fire Department after high school and earned his firefighter and paramedic certifications through Stark State College. He comes from a family of firefighters, including his dad, uncles, grandfather, and his brother Dustin, who’s also a full-time firefighter with the city of Salem.
