After just over two months after
being officially named to the position, the state Fire Marshal announced he is
stepping down.
Anthony Wayne “Tony” Carrico said
Monday he will be leaving the Fire Marshal’s Office at the end of the year to
pursue another opportunity within the state Department of Military Affairs and
Public Safety.
Carrico has accepted a position at
the Division of Corrections, as a corrections program manager.
Carrico
had been acting state fire marshal since April 2013, and the Fire Commission
selected him as the permanent occupant of that post in September.
