Roswell has officially named Pabel Troche as its new Fire Chief, cementing his role after leading the department on an interim basis earlier this year.

Troche isn’t new to the city’s fire service—he’s been with the Roswell Fire Department for more than 20 years, moving up through positions including EMS Director, Battalion Chief, and Deputy Chief. Along the way, he’s overseen everything from daily operations to emergency management and firefighter training.

Mayor Kurt Wilson praised the appointment, calling Troche “a proven leader” who blends strategy with compassion. “His commitment to mentoring others, building strong teams, and cultivating trust makes him not just a respected leader but an inspiring one,” Wilson said.
