Albuquerque Mayor-elect Richard Berry has named a 19-year veteran of the Albuquerque Fire Department as the city’s new fire chief. “Today it is my great honor to appoint James Breen as my new fire chief for the City of Albuquerque,” Berry announced at about 11:00 Tuesday morning to the applause of a roomful of fire fighters. Breen has been with AFD since 1990 and most recently has been the commander of the department’s Second Battalion on Girard, the city’s busiest fire district. Breen has also been an instructor at the city’s fire academy and was deployed in 2005 to New Orleans help in the aftermath Hurricane Katrina. Breen replaces Chief Robert Ortega who has been chief for eight years. “My focus on fire chief is increasing our cost effectiveness, increasing operational efficiency, increasing fire fighter safety for high-risk operations and providing for professional development opportunities for our members,” said Breen at Tuesday’s news conference. Breen will assume the duties of fire chief on December 1. [www.clipsyndicate.com | KOB Albuquerque]
