Ridgefield could soon be looking for a new Fire Chief. 

Heather Burford, who has served in that position for the past seven years, has been offered the same position in Seminole County Florida.  Burford told the Ridgefield Press that she needs to pass a physical and background check before she officially takes on the new job. 

Burford plans to step down from the role as Ridgefield Fire Chief and assistant fire chief Kevin Tappe would likely step up into the position in transition.
