A member of the Charleston Fire Department has been named as the new West Virginia Fire Marshal.

Captain Ken Tyree, who is part of the Charleston department’s fire prevention bureau, will take the state fire marshal’s position after the current fire marshal, Tony Carrico, leaves for a new position at the end of the month.

Tyree’s appointment was approved by the West Virginia Fire Commission at a meeting Monday morning.

Fire Commission Chairman Carl Sizemore said Tyree’s experience and contacts throughout the state made him a great candidate for the job.
