FIRE CHIEF
Central Whidbey Island Fire & Rescue (CWIFR)
First Review: March 31, 2023
Position Profile Candidate Supplemental Questions
Central Whidbey Island Fire & Rescue (CWIFR) 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 department serves 50 square miles of central Whidbey Island with a population of 9,000 from three fire stations. In 2022, CWIFR’s call volume was 1715. The agency’s 2023 operating budget is $2.9 million and includes authorized staffing for 22 volunteers, 7 part-time members, and 13 full-time members.
WHY APPLY
CWIFR has had only two chiefs in the last 24 years. This department is small enough to be nimble but with enough resources to make a difference. 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.
