The City of Malibu has hired Chris Brossard to serve as the City’s new Fire Safety Liaison effective Monday, March 29, 2021.
“The Fire Safety Liaison position was created after the devastating 2018 Woolsey Fire to ramp up the City’s efforts to help residents be more prepared for wildfires and enhance the City’s wildfire response capabilities,” said Mayor Mikke Pierson. “I am proud to say that Jerry Vandermeulen has done exactly that, and I look forward to Chris Brossard continuing and expanding this crucial service.”
Chris comes to the City after 16 seasons as a firefighter with the United States Forest Service (USFS), spending most of his time in the Los Padres National Forest, Ojai Ranger District.
