A Message from the Ventura City Fire Chief

I am honored to serve as the City of Ventura's Fire Chief and am privileged to lead a group of individuals that are passionate and dedicated to ensuring the safety of our community.  I eagerly accepted the task of leading one of the county’s most progressive fire departments.  I believe strongly that the fire service plays an important role in the well being of our citizens. It is our commitment to our community to continue to evolve as an organization, keeping up with firefighting trends, using cutting edge technologies and finding more effective ways to provide services.

My staff and I will continue to develop new ways to meet the demands of our community, while keeping the Ventura City Fire Department on the cutting edge of fire and life safety services.
