PENDLETON — The fire department of the Pilot Rock Rural Fire Protection District continues to operate without a chief of its own.
Pendleton Fire and Ambulance Fire Chief Jim Critchley and Assistant Chief Anthony Pierotti have been serving as Pilot Rock’s fire department bosses since July, when Herschel Rostov went on administrative leave and subsequently resigned. Critchley said Pilot Rock asked for them to help administratively while working through a complaint against Rostov, who stepped into the role of the district’s chief on Oct. 1, 2021.
