Please join us in congratulating Division Chief Rick Cory on his retirement from the Fremont Fire Department (FFD)! Division Chief Cory began his career with the City of Fremont in January 1991. He came to the department with an eagerness, enthusiasm, and a passion for learning. In 1998, Division Chief Cory was promoted to Captain and over the next decade he also served as a Staff Captain, Acting Battalion Chief, and Division Chief, successfully leading recruit academy... activities, probationary evaluations, BART coordination drills, the Special Operations Task Force, and wildland training efforts. Chief Cory received multiple commendations and accolades throughout his tenure in each rank for his consistent demonstration of professionalism, tireless work ethic, and willingness to share his knowledge. Division Chief Cory served as a member of the Urban Search and Rescue California Task Force 4 (USAR CA TF-4) and responded with a water rescue team to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. His passion led him to coursework and applied knowledge related to certifications at the Company Officer, Chief Officer, and Safety Officer level which contributed to him lending his talents to Urban Shield (Red Command), the East Bay Incident Management Team, and the development of the FFD Bike Medic program. Thank you, Division Chief Cory, for your 30 years of exemplary service to the department and community. Our best wishes to you on a long and healthy retirement! #FremontFire #FremontCA #FremontFirefighters See more
