“To be part of the South San Francisco Fire Department and be a member of the South San Francisco management team presented a unique opportunity,” Kohlmann said in an email statement. “I had known of South San Francisco’s innovative past, but after providing training to department personnel and then hearing Chief Bill Reilly’s enthusiasm about the fire department’s future, I was very motivated to seek the fire chief’s position.

Brian Mulligan sang with assurance as her husband, Coroebus.
