Peter Carpenter is a registered user.
He has a great track record on innovation - which in the fire service is often difficult:
"During Lorenzen's tenure, the Ventura County Air Unit — a joint operation of the county fire and sheriff's departments — bought three surplus Blackhawk military helicopters that were converted to Firehawk helicopters for fighting wildfires. After the Thomas Fire, Lorenzen worked with legislators in Sacramento to help secure $25 million for technology infrastructure updates and to revamp the statewide system for ordering fire resources."
Hopefully the Fire Board will encourage and embrace his ability to innovate.
