Posted April 23, 2022 The Chief ot the Los Angeles City Fire Department was Officially called the Chief Engineer for many years and that was part of the title until at least the late 80s or early 90s if not latee. Does anyone on this site know the year the the Title 'Chief Engineer' was dropped and changed to the "Chief of the Fire Department"? When the Title was Changed was it done to simplify things or was it done for another purpose? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
