ALL RIVER — There will be a changing of the guard at the Fall River Fire Department with Fire Chief Roger St. Martin retiring soon and District Fire Chief Jeffrey Bacon’s appointment for the job going before the City Council on Tuesday.

 

St. Martin has served as a Fall River firefighter for nearly 37 years. His final day as head of the department is Feb. 10, according to St. Martin.

 

Bacon, a Somerset resident, did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but Mayor Paul Coogan said the district fire chief did well in interviews with the administration.
