Central Whidbey Island Fire & Rescue is seeking an innovative, optimistic, and caring Fire Chief to lead this well-managed fire combination fire department located on beautiful Whidbey Island, northwest of Seattle. CWIFR is an all-hazards service providing fire protection, emergency medical services, hazardous materials response, and rescue services.

The next Fire Chief will have the opportunity to harness this power to lead the organization into its future. If you are looking for a stable position, a supportive Board of Commissioners, and a team of dedicated career and volunteer firefighters and EMTs, this may be the opportunity for you.
