Chief Bobby Williams is being honored this week for twenty years of service to the City of Spokane. He is the longest serving fire chief in the 124 year history of the Spokane Fire Department. He has lead the department through such major events as Firestorm in 1991 and Icestorm in 1996. He also oversaw the passage of two major bond issues that allowed the department to modernize stations and apparatus.
Chief Williams was honored at a special reception before the City Council meeting this meeting. Mayor Mary Verner presented Chief Williams with a twenty year service pin.
