Denver Fire Chief Larry Trujillo is leaving his post after being granted early retirement starting Sept 1., Denver officials reported today.
The 25-year veteran of the Denver fire department had applied for an early pension in June because of an on-the-job back injury that has bothered him for seven years.
Trujillo has been Denver’s chief for four years.
Mayor John Hickenlooper said in a statement that Trujillo’s leadership will be missed.
Deputy Chief James Sestrich will be interim chief of the Department until a permanent appointment is made by Hickenlooper.
