After nearly 20 years with the Pittsburg Fire Department, Chief Mike Simons is retiring. City officials recognized Simons this week for his decades of service. At Tuesday’s city commission meeting, Pittsburg Mayor Dawn McNay read a proclamation declaring Sept. 22, 2020 as Fire Chief Mike Simons Day. City Manager Daron Hall also thanked Simons and presented him with a Key to the City of Pittsburg. “It’s been my pleasure to work with you sir,” Hall said. “You’ve done an excellent job. Congratulations, and you’re a good friend, I’m going to miss you.” Simons, who was accompanied at the ceremony by members of the Fire Department, also thanked city officials, the community, and his colleagues.
