Delray Beach Fire-Rescue veteran Danielle Connor was named chief in December, following the resignation of David James effective Nov. 12 after extensive absences due to health issues.
Connor has been with the Delray Beach Fire-Rescue since 1993 and has been serving as chief during James’s absence, including when he returned to work part-time.
She is a second generation firefighter who had progressed through the ranks to assistant chief prior to the most recent appointment.
James, who hired on with Delray Beach in 2007, wrote in his resignation letter, “My recovery from a catastrophic injury has progressed far beyond medical professionals’ expectations. Though I continue to improve, it has become apparent to me that at this time I cannot fulfill the duties and responsibilities of the position at the highest level that I expect of myself and the city of Delray Beach deserves.”
