Members of the community are invited to meet the finalists in the City’s recruitment for its next chief of the Yuma Fire Department. 

The City will hold an open house 4 to 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 23 at the Yuma Civic Center, 1440 W. Desert Hills Drive.

The event will be an informal gathering. Residents will have opportunities to meet each finalist individually and ask them questions.

The candidates are seeking to replace Fire Chief Steve Irr, who is retiring after nearly 36 years with the City of Yuma, the last seven of them as chief.
