Members of the Phoenix City Council are set to vote on a settlement deal during their Feb. 16 meeting. The settlement is in connection with a lawsuit filed following a deadly 2019 crash involving a Phoenix fire truck.
Assistant Chief Michael Duran III is named the next Phoenix Fire Chief as Chief Kara Kalkbrenner retires in February 2022. "I am committed to creating a positive and equitable environment while promoting the development and sustainability of our organization," he remarked.
