Fire Department Update:

Jim Klug Appointed to Serve as City of Plymouth Fire Chief

The City of Plymouth Police and Fire Commission appointed Jim Klug as Fire Chief following a competitive recruitment and interview process. The Commission formally approved the appointment at its meeting on Tuesday, April 2. Klug will commence his service on June 8, 2026.

Klug brings more than 25 years of fire service experience, including over a decade in chief officer leadership roles. He currently serves as Fire Chief of the Platte Valley Fire Protection District in Kersey, Colorado, where he’s led a full-service emergency services organization and oversees operations, administration, budgeting, and long-range planning. Throughout his career, Klug has advanced through the ranks—from firefighter to Fire Chief—gaining extensive experience in operations, training, incident command, and organizational leadership. He is recognized for his focus on building strong organizational culture, enhancing operational readiness, and fostering collaboration across agencies and the communities he serves.

“Jim Klug stood out in a strong candidate pool for his depth of experience, leadership approach, and clear commitment to supporting a positive organizational culture,” said Police and Fire Commission Chair Mark Melcher. “The Commission is confident he will provide exceptional leadership and continue to advance the high-quality fire and EMS services our community expects.”

The Plymouth Fire Department provides fire suppression, emergency medical services, fire prevention, inspections, and community outreach to the City and Town of Plymouth. The Fire Chief plays a critical leadership role in overseeing these services, supporting personnel, and ensuring long-term operational readiness and community safety.

Klug expressed enthusiasm about returning to Wisconsin and serving the Plymouth community. “I am honored and excited for the opportunity to serve as Fire Chief for the City of Plymouth,” said Klug. “This is a community with strong values, dedicated personnel, and a clear commitment to public safety. I look forward to working alongside the department staff, City leadership, and the community to build on that foundation and ensure high-quality, reliable emergency services for years to come.”

The recruitment process was facilitated by Innovative Public Advisors (IPA), a public-sector executive recruitment and strategy firm. For more information, please contact IPA Partner Jess Wildes at 262-339-5658 or jess@public-advisors.com.

Plymouth Utilities Receives National Safety Award

Plymouth WI, was one of 240 public power utilities to earn the American Public Power Association’s Safety Award of Excellence during its Engineering & Operations Conference from March 29-April 1.

“The wellbeing of our workers is vital to keep our utility running at its best,” said Tim Blakeslee, Utilities Manager of Plymouth Utilities. “This award shows that we work hard to ensure everyone gets home safely.”

Public power utilities from across the United States were placed in categories according to their number of worker hours and safe operating practices in 2025. All entrants were ranked based on each utility’s incident-free records and overall state of safety programs and safety culture in 2025.

“In Public Power, safety excellence isn’t achieved by chance; it’s earned through unwavering discipline, strong leadership and a culture where every team member looks out for one another,” said Jon Beasley, chair of APPA’s Safety Committee and vice president of Electric Cities of Georgia. “These Safety Award recipients stand as proof that commitment and consistency save lives, strengthen communities and set the benchmark for our entire industry.”

APPA has conducted the safety awards program annually for more than 68 years. The association is the voice of not-for-profit, community owned utilities that power 2,000 towns and cities nationwide.
