DOTHAN: This afternoon in front of his wife Mitzi their son Dylon, under the heavenly eyes of their daughter Morgan, and in front of family, friends and coworkers, David Hasty took the Oath Of Office as Fire Chief for the City of Dothan Ala. The oath was administered by now retired Dothan Fire Chief Larry Williams.
David hasty told why he wanted the oath at Dothan Fire Station 1. He began as a Dothan Police Officer. After two years David Hasty transferred to Dothan Fire Department. His first assignment was the old Station 1 located on Burdeshaw Street. When Dothan Fire Station 1 was constructed most of his online time was spent at Station 1.
David, Mitzi and Dylon Hasty are active members of Memphis Baptist Church. He has served as Deacon and Chairman of Deacons at Memphis Baptist Church. And if the Hasty’s, McClendons, Jones or Browns ( all family ) are not a Memphis then something is wrong. David and Mitzi do not talk about the Christian walk, they walk the Christian walk.
At 12:01 AM on January 1, 2026 David Hasty assumed the role of Dothan Fire Chief on the retirement of Larry Williams. A department of over 200 employees, 9 fire stations and the Dothan Airport Fire, and responding to some 18,000 calls for service a year, the pledge is prompt and professional customer service to those they serve.
Chief Hasty praised every man and women who serve in the Dothan Fire Department and looks forward to the future.
