CLAY COUNTY, Fla. -- A veteran Jacksonville firefighter is heading south to become the new chief of the Clay County Fire Department.

Mock relocated to northeast Florida from Pennsylvania. As part of JFRD, he received mayoral appointments as both Division of Chief of Operations, overseeing the Department's fire suppression and communications activities, as well as the Division Chief of Emergency Preparedness.

Mock is currently serving as the Domestic Security coordinator for the Florida State Fire Marshal's Office.
