Capt. Mark Moore, a 22-year veteran of the Mountain Home Fire Department, is sworn in as the city's new fire chief by city clerk Nina Patterson during a ceremony Sept. 12. With about 20 local firefighters, Mayor Rich Sykes, the city council and six members of Moore's family were on hand for the ceremony. In his comments after the ceremony, Moore said he has put his heart and soul into the fire department and has gotten it back 10 fold.

Mountain Home's new fire chief was officially sworn in as the city council also addressed concerns over a local subdivision while voting to increase fees at the city golf course during a meeting Sept. 12.

After establishing a full quorum, the council moved into a brief discussion regarding the appointment of Capt. Mark Moore as the city's new fire chief.
