The Spokane Fire Department announced Monday that it has selected Trisha Wolford to be the next Assistant Fire Chief.
The Assistant Chief serves as a key leader in the department assisting the Fire Chief in planning, coordinating and administering the activities of the organization. She will begin on December 27.
“After an extensive recruitment process and receiving positive feedback from the interview committees—which included community members, City of Spokane executives, SFD leadership and representation from IAFF Local 29—Trisha became the clear choice,” says Fire Chief Brian Schaeffer. “Her fire service, emergency medical service and investigative background combined with her strategic planning skills will be an enormous asset to our department and community.”
