Welcome Chief Jeff Millar

On Thursday 11-17-11 Battalion Chief Jeff Millar signed off over the airways, after 30 years with CAL FIRE, thanking all for a good run. The next evening 11-18-11 Jeff Millar took the Oath of Office as the new Chief of Copperopolis Fire Protection District.

The ceremony was well attended leaving standing room only. The troops, both volunteer and paid alike, showed out in full force in support for their new leader.

Father Jim Stout of the Church of the Ascension and CFPD Chaplain delivered the opening prayer asking for guidance and protection for not only Chief Millar but for all firefighters. Later in the ceremony Father Jim delivered a prayer for the healing and care of injured CALFIRE firefighter Captain Sue Arrouzet.

Welcome Chief Millar.

Chief Millar's first order of business is to "get to know the employee's" and outline his expectations and learn of theirs.
