After 27 years in the Beverly Hills Fire Department (BHFD) and a 34-year career overall, Deputy Fire Chief Joe Matsch retired on Dec. 20. In an interview with the Courier, he reflected on nearly three decades of public service in the city.
“My goodness, what an amazing community,” Matsch said from the “fire memorabilia” room in his home in Chino. “I’ve been blessed beyond measure and I have nothing but gratitude to them. I’m indebted to this community and I wish I had another lifetime to serve this community here.”
