Leadership...

Matt Hitchcock - Deputy Chief of Support Services

    When asked why it’s important KCFD1 delivers the programs managed by Support Services, Chief Hitchcock responds...


“The importance of Support Services is best exemplified by the military. When warfighters are shipped overseas to advance the nation’s agenda, they have to be fed, housed, equipped, healed, educated, and supported in every facet. Support Services is designed to assist the employees of KCFD1 to make sure they have what they need to be effective for the citizens of Klamath Falls.”
