Chief Bachman was the Deputy Fire Chief of Support Services for the Pike Township Fire Department. In this role, he managed four divisions: Fire Prevention, Support Services, Information Technology, and Health/Safety/Medical. His responsibilities also included department-wide budgeting and strategic planning for an organization with 200 personnel. His experience includes federal grant application and administration as well as expertise as a Public Information Officer. Previous experience also includes ten years as Fire Marshal, and he began his career as a firefighter in 1995. Chief Bachman holds a BA in Political Science from Eastern Illinois University; is completing his master’s degree in Emergency and Disaster Management from Georgetown University; and is one of only 60 individuals to be dual credentialed as a Chief Fire Officer and Fire Marshal with the Center for Public Safety Excellence.
