During his tenure, Johnson has played a significant role in bringing hundreds of thousands of dollars in grant funding to the City which enhanced the capabilities of the department. “He has enjoyed a long and productive career that he can be proud of and his many contributions as Chief of the Campbellsville Fire Department are so appreciated.” Mayor Young added.

Chief Johnson stated, “God has truly blessed me by allowing me to serve this wonderful community, throughout my 18 years as chief, our department has accomplish all of our goals in our ten year plan and most in the twenty year plan. I look forward to serving in other ways in the future.”
