Cedar Rapids Fire Chief Search | Cedar Rapids News

Cedar Rapids is set to pick its next fire chief from four top contenders, including a current assistant chief, a seasoned Arizona chief, a North Carolina deputy, and a local fire marshal—all vying to lead a 150-person department. After the Civil Service Commission clears them, in-person interviews begin next week, with an open house on Sept. 14 giving residents a chance to meet the candidates. The city manager will make the final call, subject to City Council approval—and with a $60 million bond proposal on the ballot for station upgrades, this new leader could steer major change.
