Fire Chief of the Year - San Diego Fire Chief Tracy Jarman


SAN DIEGO: San Diego Fire Chief Tracy Jarman was named Fire Chief of the Year by the California Fire Chiefs Association, a decision that was announced Monday night in Riverside at the group's annual meeting.

Thirteen fire chiefs from 1,100 fire agencies and organizations in the state were nominated, and Jarman was the unanimous choice, said San Diego Fire-Rescue Department spokesman Maurice Luque.

Jarman, a 23-year veteran of the San Diego fire department, was appointed chief in June 2006 by Mayor Jerry Sanders.

She is one of 34 female fire chiefs in the United States and the first in San Diego.

Jarman, 51, supervises a department that includes 928 firefighters, 124 lifeguards, 85 emergency medical services personnel and 121 civilian employees.

****REMINDER**** Every fire has the ability to be catastrophic. The wildland fire management environment has profoundly changed. Growing numbers of communities, across the nation, are experiencing longer fire seasons; more frequent, bigger, and more severe, fires are a real threat. Be careful with all campfires and equipment.

"I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts, and beer." --Abraham Lincoln
