Quick response time; personal relationships worth a lot in this city of some 8,500.
Two years ago, EMS personnel quickly responded to a summer student in distress in the swimming pool at Burr Oak camp at John Burroughs School. Personnel made a very quick rescue, and the youngster recovered quickly. Another time, police, fire and EMS responded to a resident on Colonial Lane with an apparent heart attack. That person also survived, thanks to the professional and quick action of Ladue’s rescue team. These are just isolated examples of why Ladue residents value their own independent fire and EMS service and why they have never shown interest in joining forces with any other county fire departments. Much goes the same for St. Louis' inner-urban communities: Clayton, Brentwood, Maplewood, University City, Shrewsbury and …

Johnson is a 16-year veteran of the department.
Ladue Assistant Fire Chief Jeff Johnson has taken over as head of the department after the departure of Ladue's former chief, Eric Hinson. Hinson abruptly resigned in late August and his last day was Friday. Hinson resigned in the wake of an investigation. Hinson had held two chief jobs concurrently — as Ladue fire chief, where he was appointed in July 2011, and as the St. Clair, MO, fire chief, where he had been hired in January 2011. He resigned from that post on Sept. 28, 2011, according to the St. Clair Missourian. Johnson, a 16-year-veteran of the Ladue Fire Department, was appointed assistant chief at the same time Hinson was named chief in July 2011.

Hinson replaces Ted Jury, who served in Ladue for 29 years.
Eric Hinson may be the only person in the state of Missouri to hold the title of fire chief in two different cities. Hinson was named fire chief for the City of Ladue at last week’s city council meeting, taking over the reins from Ted Jury, who retired after 29 years of service to the city overall, and moved on to be the chief in Brentwood. Hinson has served as Ladue’s assistant chief the past seven years. Jeff Johnson was elevated to assistant fire chief at the meeting. Johnson has been on the Ladue fire staff since 1996. Hinson serves in a dual capacity as St. Clair, MO's fire chief. In St. Clair, the staff is smaller in numbers and the territory to cover is much wide. The St. Clair Fire Protection District has a staff of 17 paid and 35 …

Little old lady Ladue just hired a Fire Chief for $100K, plus a yesteryear comp/pension package. Is anyone thinking about combining these little Duke-dom Departments? We could have gotten him for half of $93k, which is what oh-so-similar Olivette FD was paying him, if we had just combined. The buy-it-now price for Olivette to find a new Chief has been jacked to over $100K, plus their version of a… more ›
