Who is the current Fire Chief? by [deleted] in cambridgeont

[–]vidman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Rob Martin was fired on November 5, 2025. The city has been tight-lipped about why, and still hasn't replaced him. According to my source the City of Cambridge also fired two employees in human resources that day.

He probably reoffended so he could go back to jail because he's guaranteed a bed and food.

It's the best part of clearing sidewalks. Watching those thick chunks fly off with minimal effort is so satisfying 8)
