FIRE CHIEF
PRESIDENT
Brothers and Sisters,
Omar Aguilar is the newly elected
president of Local 935. First hired
as a paid-call firefighter by Crest
Forest Fire Protection District in
2003, he was hired there full time
in 2006. After serving the Crest
Forest local as a negotiations team
member and vice president, in
2011 he was elected president,
serving in that post during the
district’s transition to County Fire.
A mountain-area native, he now
resides in Anaheim with wife Jessica
and their 9-month-old son, Declan.
I hope you all had a happy and safe 2015 holiday season! As we quickly advance through January, I would
like to take a moment to remember our fallen brothers and sisters, including those who lost their lives in the
December 2 terrorist attacks. You are never forgotten, and we will remain “San Bernardino Strong!”
As we look to the future, I want to recognize and welcome the changes in leadership within Local 935.
Congratulations to Steven Story as he enters office as union treasurer, and to Jared Newcomer, who was
elected SBCERA alternative safety chair trustee. Also, please join me in acknowledging our re-elected and
newly elected divisional representatives, including Engineer Chris Williams and Captain Tony Siciliano in the
valley, Captain Craig Williams in the mountains, Engineer Jeff Allen and Firefighter/Paramedic Nick Landry
in the north desert and Captain Darrell Feuerhahn in the south desert. My sincere appreciation goes out to
Big Bear City, Big Bear Lake, Colton and Loma Linda Fire Departments for being active in our election and
voting process. I look forward to working together with all of you.
Furthermore, I would like to thank Captain Jim Grigoli for his commitment and countless hours of service
towards bettering our local. In addition, thank you to outgoing treasurer Dennis Cunningham for a lifetime of
service to 935, and for your continuing sup ܝ
