Los Angeles County Fire Chief Daryl L. Osby announced his official retirement from the department after four decades of fire service.
“I am truly grateful for the amazing 28 years I have spent protecting the lives, property and environment of the residents of Los Angeles County,” Osby said in a FaceBook post. “The last eleven in which I had the honor of serving as Fire Chief.”
Osby was appointed Fire Chief in February 2011 by the L.A. Board of Supervisors. During his time the department launched several new programs to improve the efficiency of fire services to L.A. residents.
“Day after day, we answered the call of those experiencing the worst day of their lives, whether they were in need of life-saving rescue, medical treatment or just a helping hand,” remarks Osby.
Osby went on to say he has been honored to serve as Fire Chief and it is difficult to say goodbye.
Osby is set to work with his Executive Team along with the Board of Supervisors to look for a new Fire Chief.
Osby’s last day is set to be July 30.
