Fire and Rescue System Chief Kevin McGee announced Monday that he will be retiring from Prince William County after 39 years of service.
McGee entered the Prince William County Fire and Rescue Academy in 1979 and has served the county throughout his career, including the last 11 years as chief, according to a news release.
“Chief McGee is a proven leader and dedicated public servant,” said County Executive Chris Martino. “We are grateful for his efforts to shape the Fire and Rescue System into one of the premier systems in the nation, and we will certainly miss his presence.”
Earlier this fall, McGee was one of three finalists to be the next fire chief in Austin, Texas. That position went to retired Atlanta Fire and Rescue Chief Joel Baker.
