On December 5, 2009, Chief Mike Zanolini stepped down as Chief of the Spanish Peaks Fire Department. His retirement, after 13 years of service to the Department, came about as the result of a hectic work schedule. Most of our volunteer firefighters are employed full time, and it can be challenging to find the balance between work, family, and volunteerism-especially when you are in a position as demanding as Chief! We were saddened to see Chief Zanolini go. His firefighters surprised him recently with a plaque and beer stein thanking him for his courage and leadership. It was a memorable evening!
With Chief Zanolini’s retirement, Deputy Chief Larry Broach moved into the position as Chief, as per the District’s Standard Operating Procedures. Chief Broach has been with the SPVFD for five years, and has served various Officer positions, including Assistant Chief and Deputy Chief. Chief Broach recently cemented his commitment to the community by becoming a Nationally Registered EMT-B. He brings a wealth of experience and training to the position of Chief.
Spanish Peaks VFD’s other Officers include:
Wyatt Lisonbee-Assistant Chief
Joe Julian-Captain
Derek Grubb-Training Officer
We look forward to the coming months, and benefitting from the continued leadership of our committed Officer staff!
