Monday Conversation: Jim Goodworth Home-grown fire chief explains fruits of his labor: How MSBU used Jim Goodworth took the helm of fire chief in November, which came on the heels of the kickoff of a controversial municipal service business unit (MSBU) for fire services, but today the career Citrus County fire rescue worker is eagerly touting early results of the new revenues. In a wide-ranging conversation with the Chronicle, Goodworth talked about the range of services and equipment used by his agency and the new structural changes introduced by Sheriff Jeff Dawsy since the beginning of the new year and a little more than two years after the sheriff’s office and Fire Rescue merged. Goodworth started with Fire Rescue in 1983 as an EMT and worked his way to the top. He served as deputy fire chief under Larry Morabito until Morabito retired in 2013. Goodworth said being fire chief is “a dream come true” and he is excited about leading a group of firefighters who practically “grew up with the department.” “The pride of ownership is tremendous,” he said. chronicleonline/content/monday-conversation-jim-goodworth?pc=1 #msbu #firechief
