Leawood Fire Chief Gets New Leader | Kansas City News
Description
Leawood’s fire department just got a legendary new chief—Andrew Grove, a 28-year veteran of the Overland Park Fire Department and a fifth-generation firefighter, officially takes over on September 8 after being unanimously approved by city council. He steps into the role following the departure of longtime Chief Colin Fitzgerald, with interim Chief Scott Gilmore holding things down until then. Mayor Marc Elkins is thrilled, calling Grove a proven leader with deep local knowledge who’ll build on the department’s strong legacy. With roots in firefighting and decades of experience, Grove’s appointment signals a powerful next chapter for Leawood’s emergency services.
