Ricky Vaughan
Denton County Emergency Services District 1 — which serves Argyle, Bartonville, Copper Canyon, Corral City, Lantana and Northlake — has named Carrollton Fire Rescue's Ricky Vaughan its next fire chief.
The district's current chief, Mac Hohenberger, is retiring after decades in the field, according to a news release from the district. Hohenberger was chief of the Argyle Fire District since before its merger with ESD 1.
Vaughan has been at Carrollton Fire Rescue since 1995, where he served in every rank up to his most recent appointment of Assistant Fire Chief in April 2017, according to the release.
Vaughan has an associate degree in fire protection technology from El Centro Community College, a bachelor’s degree in emergency management administration from West Texas A&M University and a Master of Public Administration degree from Sam Houston State University with a concentration in disaster and emergency management.
He'll start as fire chief in January.
