Holderman Resigns As WWFT ChiefWarsaw-Wayne Fire Territory will have to find a new chief.

In a letter to the Warsaw-Wayne Township Fire Territory Board, Fire Chief Garrett Holderman announced his intention to resign from his position, effective Feb. 7.

Holderman succeeded previous Chief Michael Wilson, who retired from service in 2022. Holderman has been with Warsaw-Wayne Fire Territory for one year, according to a news release from Warsaw Mayor Joe Thallemer.  

Holderman served the Rural Metro Fire Service for 17 years before coming to Warsaw. He cited personal family reasons for his decision and plans to return to Arizona.

“Chief Holderman came to our community anxious to serve as fire chief and hit the ground running. He developed a leadership training program as an early priority that will reap benefits for the department for many years to come. I wish Garrett all the best as he continues his fire service career,” Thallemer said.
