Lynchburg Fire Chief Brad Creasy's Vision | Roanoke News

Lynchburg’s new fire chief, Brad Creasy, brings over three decades of experience—including state-level fire program work—to tackle deep-rooted culture issues and rebuild the department from the ground up. Appointed after the previous chief stepped down in November, Creasy’s first moves include filling two deputy chief roles while launching a sweeping review of hiring, promotions, and leadership stability. A recent consulting report exposed serious problems, including viral videos of offensive conduct, prompting urgent reforms. But Creasy’s sights are global—he aims to transform Lynchburg into a world-class model that other fire departments will flock to learn from. With local ties to Liberty University and prior experience in Bedford and Roanoke, he’s uniquely positioned to lead this ambitious overhaul.
