Don Trapp has recently been appointed to Assistant Chief where he will now oversee human resources, the public information office, support services, the day-to-day fiscal operations and special projects. Fire Chief Mark Hartwig shared, “During these challenging economic times, we continue to find ways to persevere and provide the highest level of services to those we serve. Chief Trapp has the experience and expertise to continue this mission.” Chief Trapp became interested in the fire service right out of high school and became a Paid-Call Firefighter for the California Department of Forestry in Temecula. Chief Trapp began his full-time fire service career with San Bernardino County Fire in 1989 assigned to Fontana. He has diligently worked his way through the ranks and was promoted in March 2012 to Division Chief of the High Desert Division (Division 3); one of the most challenging geographic areas within San Bernardino County. Throughout his career in County Fire, Chief Trapp has remained heavily involved in the communities we serve. He has served on the Emergency Medical Services committee, and co-chaired both the Operations Leadership Team and the Hiring, Testing & Development committees. Chief Trapp and his wife Sheila are committed to their family and community. They cherish their family time most and love to explore new places. Chief Trapp fills the vacancy left by Jim Johnstone, who was promoted to Deputy Chief.
