NAPA, Calif. — Napa Fire Chief Mike Randolph has announced he’s retiring Dec. 30, after more than 27 years on the job.
Randolph began his firefighting career with the Napa Fire Department in 1989, was promoted to firefighter/paramedic in 1994, fire captain in 1998, battalion chief in 2000 and division chief in 2005, city officials said.
After serving as interim fire chief for six months, he was appointed fire chief in 2012.
“Chief Randolph’s contributions to the Napa community have been invaluable and his strong leadership after the earthquake helped in Napa’s recovery,” Mayor Jill Techel said. “We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Chief Randolph for his many years of service and loyalty to the Napa Community.”
“I had no hesitation whatsoever in appointing Mike Randolph to fire chief in 2012,” City Manager Mike Parness said. “He demonstrated for many years his readiness and commitment to leading our fire department and has been a true asset to our organization throughout his career here. We wish him and his family a happy and healthy retirement and offer our most sincere thank you for his many years of service to our city.”
Parness is launching a process to hire a new chief.
