Re: Zach Caldwell Resignation
Background:
Zach Caldwell joined the department on 06/01/2022. Zach has given his resignation to be effective
on 10/01/24. When hired Zach was living with his parent in Scandia, after completing college and
gaining employment he began looking for a home. Zach has moved out of the area due to not being
able to find a home to purchase within his price range that was within 8 minutes of the fire station.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends accepting Zach Caldwell’s resignation effective as of 10/01/2024.
To whom it may concern:
I, Zachary J. Caldwell am resigning from Scandia Fire and Rescue effective October 1, 2024. Despite
how much I would like to continue serving the community that I grew up in, my recent move closer to the
metro does not make that possible. I would like to thank Chief Mike Hinz and all those at Scandia Fire as
well as the city of Scandia for allowing me the honor of serving the community for the past two years.
