SHELBYVILLE -- In 1997, when he was a boy, the family home of Carton Holbert in Spencer County caught fire. He was impressed with the heroic work of the fire department and started dreaming of becoming a firefighter. Effective April 1, Holbert, 42, will become Shelbyville’s new fire chief. He will replace Rob Rothenburger, who recently retired. Mayor Troy Ethington presented Holbert March 20 to the Shelbyville City Council as the new chief.
