SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – Fire Chief Jeff Meston is retiring from South Lake Tahoe Fire Rescue (SLTFR) on February 28, five years and five months after he came out of retirement to head up the department.
On Friday, February 1, Meston submitted his resignation to the City.
“When I was hired by CM (City Manager) Kerry I promised to spend between 3-5 years with the City Fire Department and bring them as far as I could to be a “world class” fire department,” Meston said in his resignation letter.
He feels he’s accomplished what he set out to do.
