WARSAW — Warsaw-Wayne Township Fire Territory Chief Garrett Holderman has announced his intention to resign, effective Feb. 7.

That’s according to a City of Warsaw press release.

“Chief Holderman came to our community anxious to serve as fire chief and hit the ground running. He developed a leadership training program as an early priority that will reap benefits for the department for many years to come. I wish Garrett all the best as he continues his fire service career,” said Warsaw Mayor Joe Thallemer.
