Victorious Hilmer Sworn-In as Mehlville Fire District Chairman
Aaron Hilmer goes for another six years after narrow victory at the polls.
In front of a small but packed room, Aaron Hilmer took an oath of office administered by Mehlville Fire Chief Tim White for a second, six-year term on the Mehlville Fire Protection District Board of Directors.
Mehlville Fire District includes about 90 percent of Sunset Hills. The other portion is protected by Fenton.
About 20 people were present at fire district headquarters as Hilmer swore to support the Constitution of both the U.S. and Missouri and perform his duties to the best of his ability impartially in the interest of the whole fire district.

Hilmer was elected to the board April 5 after narrowly defeating Mike Klund by 213 votes. In his next six years, he vowed to maintain the district's buildings and service and put more of an emphasis on training.
The board also voted to keep the positions of Bonnie Stegman as Treasurer and Ed Ryan as Secretary. The three-person board manages the largest fire protection district in the state of Missouri.
