On Tuesday, February 14, 2023, our lunch speaker will be Bend Fire Chief, Todd Riley. He'll be speaking on Bend Fire & Rescue fire and medical services, the increasing call volume and impact on emergencies in our region, why faster response times and more resources save lives.
Riley has more than 20 years in fire service with 16 of them at Bend Fire and Rescue. He became a full time firefighter with Bend Fire and Rescue in 2002, after previously serving as a firefighter/paramedic with the City of Sacramento.
He was promoted to Fire Engineer in 2006, named Fire Captain in 2013 and was named Battalion Chief in 2016. In October 2019, he replaced retiring Fire Chief Larry Langston.
