Members of the Knoxville City Council and the Knoxville Fire and Rescue Department showed support for Interim Fire Chief Greg Higginbotham during a special session on Monday evening. Multiple members of the department and other area departments were on hand in the council chambers, according to City Manager Harold Stewart, speaking in favor of Higginbotham being named Fire Chief on a permanent basis. Stewart says the Council concurred with that sentiment. There will be further discussion on the fire chief position during the Council’s regular meeting next Monday.
