The Board of Fire Commissioners for the Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District (TMFPD) has named Deputy Fire Chief Dale Way as the interim Fire Chief until a permanent Chief is named later this year.

The move comes as Fire Chief Charles Moore retires on January 24.

A native Nevadan, Chief Way has nearly 30 years of experience in the Nevada fire service and has worked for Clark County, Las Vegas, and North Las Vegas Fire Departments prior to beginning his service with Truckee Meadows Fire & Rescue. 

TMFPD Fire Chief Charles A. Moore will retire after 45 years in the fire service on January 24, 2025. Chief Moore began his career as a volunteer firefighter and started his professional career in 1981 in Vail, Colorado. He has held many positions in the fire service, including firefighter, driver/operator, lieutenant, captain, and fire marshal.
