"Congratulations, it's always a good day when you can have promotions from within," said PSC Chairman Truman Whitfield. "Seeing personnel move up in the agency, I always say how lucky we are to have to have the fire department that we have and to see the work that they do every day. This is just another example of the great folks we've got on board, moving up the ranks." 

Moran's promotion fills a vacancy that was left by a number of promotions in August.
