  Washington Fire Chiefs (WFC) Membership,   This past week I informed the WFC Board of my intent to step down (retire) as your Executive Director at the end of 2024. This December will complete my 40th year in the fire service with the past 4 ½ serving as the Executive Director of the WFC. I believe it is time for me to focus on my family and use my time to benefit them at a more involved level.
