The chief of the Panama City Fire Department has resigned. Chief Alex Baird announced in a short email to City Manager Mark McQueen that he was resigning immediately. Baird has been the fire chief since 2014. His announcement comes after an investigation found that in 2018, Baird renewed the licenses of all EMTs working for the department without all having completed the necessary requirements to extend their certifications. Assistant Chief Kent Taylor will act as chief of the department until a permanent replacement is found.
