CHARLOTTE FIRE MAKES HISTORY PROMOTING FIRST LATINO BATTALION CHIEF.
After years of dedication, study and commitment, Juan Pablo Soto is the first Latino promoted to the rank of battalion chief.
Born in Guatemala, Soto first came to the U.S. with the dream to follow his father's footsteps into a branch of the U.S. military.
Now 20 years after joining Charlotte Fire, Soto is being pinned by Charlotte Fire Chief Reginald Johnson with a new badge with the bold words "Battalion Chief" embossed on it.
