I have known David for over 15 years through our professional work with the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC). At the time I met David, I was serving as the Fire Chief of Stafford County, VA and on the Board of the IAFC Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Section; David was serving as Fire Chief of Miami Township (Montgomery County), OH and on the Board of the IAFC Volunteer & Combination Officers (VCOS) Section .
As fellow fire chiefs and leaders in the IAFC, I worked with David on numerous occasions and I witnessed firsthand David’s ability to evaluate and analyze complex issues, and develop solutions that were thoughtful, effective and appropriate. David’s calm and collected manner when dealing with conflict and leading groups to come together for the greater good is one of his true talents – and one that I found refreshing when working with him on contentious national fire service issues.

"I have known Mr. Fulmer for nearly 30 years, having first met him when he was a student at the University of Akron and I was serving as the fire chief in Springfield Township. Since that time, Mr. Fulmer and I have maintained a professional relationship involving mutual learning and idea sharing revolving around the topics of fire service leadership and first responder safety.
I am very impressed with Mr. Fulmer’s professionalism and his passion for learning and self-development. Examples of this are his completion of the National Fire Academy’s Executive Fire Officer Program and the Senior Executives in State and Local Governments program at Harvard University.
From my observations over the years, among his greatest strengths are: His passion to develop his subordinates; his ability to plan strategically and see the big-picture organizational opportunities; and, his deep commitment to community involvement."

"In addition to his relationship building talents, Chief Fulmer is a man of great intellect. He is a person who brings a great set of skills and knowledge to evaluate problems, develop potential solutions, and implement a solid, reasoned plan but always is watching the results and ready to take whatever action to improve the situation or circumstance even more. As you know by his extensive resume, he has a wealth of education and training along with vast “street experience.” These things alone do not give a person the intellect needed to be a top-performing Fire Chief but the combination of these things, with a mind that can put all the pieces together, gives you a great candidate."
