Highland Hires New EMS Chief
Highland County EMS once again has a chief. Interim County Administrator Jerri Botkin was given permission by the Board of Supervisors following their last meeting to extend an offer to a candidate, who has accepted the offer.
Her e-mail to County staff regarding the hiring says:
“Good Morning,
Please join me in extending a warm welcome to Pete Kosenko, who is joining the EMS Team as our new Chief. Pete, a resident of Nellysford, Virginia, brings a wealth of experience with him, having served as a firefighter and paramedic since 1991 in both New York and Virginia. After a distinguished 23-year career with the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department, Pete recently worked at Wintergreen Fire and Rescue for the past two years.
Pete will be transitioning into his new role over the next couple of weeks and will officially start full-time on August 25, 2024. He has expressed great enthusiasm about working with both our career and volunteer personnel to ensure that the citizens of Highland receive top-notch care. We’re excited to have him on board and look forward to the positive impact he will undoubtedly make.”
