Draper hired as new fire chief The City of Vermillion has announced the hiring of Richard Shannon Draper as the city’s new fire chief.

Most recently, he lectured in South Korea about advanced leadership skills for fire service chief officers. His most recent experience with a career fire department was in Missouri. Draper replaces Fire Chief Doug Brunick, who retired in June after more than 30 years of service.
