Today is the last day on the job for Fond du Lac County Emergency Management director Bobbie Hicken. Hicken is stepping down after five years at the helm after accepting a job in the private sector. Hicken says while she is proud of what she was able to accomplish and enjoyed her work, it will be nice not having to be on call around the clock. Hicken says the county will be in good hands with the selection of Waupun Fire Chief B.J. DeMaa to be the next county emergency management director. “When I found out he was going to be my replacement it gave me a sigh of relief,” Hicken told WFDL news. “I feel I’m leaving the county in very, very good shoes.” DeMaa will begin his new duties October 2.
