On August 17, 2018, Crockett-Carquinez Fire Protection District Fire Chief Gerald C. Littleton, Jr. retired after 59 years of service with the District, the last 39 of which were as the Fire Chief. In anticipation of Chief Littleton's retirement, the Crockett-Carquinez Citizen's Advisory Commission convened in April 2018 to determine a recommendation for a successor Fire Chief. Ultimately, the Commission recommended appointment of Mr. Dean Colombo, a 36 year veteran of the District, to be appointed as Fire Chief upon Chief Littleton's departure.
Today's action appoints Mr. Colombo to the position of Fire Chief, effective today, consistent with the recommendation of the Citizen's Advisory Committee.
The position of Fire Chief will remain vacant pending appointment by the Board of Directors.
