Baker has served with the Tahoe-Douglas Fire Protection District since February 2016 when he was hired as an assistant chief. By July of that year, Baker was named the district’s chief.
Baker was the subject of a proclamation declaring Jan. 12 in his honor issued by the Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak.
He has served as a firefighter for more than a third of a century, mostly with the Reno Fire Department.
