Long Beach’s fire chief will retire next month, the city announced Tuesday. Mike DuRee, a 24-year veteran of the LBFD who was picked to lead the department in 2012, will leave his post on Oct. 5, according to the announcement. DuRee is a Long Beach native and a fourth-generation firefighter. “I have been honored to serve as the Fire Chief for the Long Beach Fire Department," DuRee said in a statement. "It was my dream, as a child, to follow in the footsteps of my father, grandfather and great-grandfather and join the Long Beach Fire Department." He started at the LBFD as a firefighter in 1994 before rising through the ranks. The city’s announcement praised him for creating the department’s homeless outreach—or HEART—team, diversifying the department's recruiting system and boosting community engagement with projects like reforming the LBFD’s Community Emergency Response Team.
