For the past 14 years I have served on the Fire Commission, the last 10 years as Chairman. have enjoyed watching the department grow in professionalism and stature in our community and the State of California. As we know, our department is considered one of the top departments in the state in the area of community service, and is the pride of our city. In 1990 our department responded to 4781 calls averaging 13 calls per day. In 2003 we responded to almost 6600 calls averaging 18 per day, a 38% increase.

My wish would be to work with the new Chief and help the commission assist him in any helpful way.
