Episode 18
In this episode of Washoe Life, we welcome Rick Edwards, the new Fire Chief of the Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District. Chief Edwards comes to Washoe County after more than two decades with the Stockton Fire Department in California, where he rose through every rank to become Fire Chief.
He shares his leadership journey, lessons learned from California’s wildfire seasons, and his vision for fire prevention and preparedness in our region. Listeners will also get to know him personally — from his family’s move to Nevada to his excitement about exploring our community, including which mountain he plans to ski first.
