SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Mayor Todd Gloria's pick for the next San Diego Fire-Rescue Chief, current Deputy Fire Chief Robert Logan II, was unanimously approved by the city council on Monday, setting up his swearing in for next month.
Gloria announced the appointment last month following a three-month, nationwide search to find Fire Chief Colin Stowell's successor. Stowell will be retiring from duty in August after six years in the role and 36 years with the department.
As Logan approached the speaker stand for his remarks prior to Monday's vote, the council chamber erupted into a boisterous applause for the deputy fire chief, who currently oversees the department's Employee Services.
