Outgoing Carson City fire chief honored by Carson City supervisors
Carson City Fire Chief Stacey Giomi was honored this morning by the Carson City Board of Supervisors for 31 years of service. Giomi announced his retirement in December and this week it was announced that Battalion Chief Robert S. Schreihans will replace Giomi.
“You’ve been a part of this community so many years keeping us safe. I particularly remember when we had the Waterfall Fire. It could have been tremendously damaging, and it was, but it could have been worse," said Carson City Mayor Bob Crowell.
"It is your efforts, Stacey, that you really can’t say enough about...Thank you on behalf of the community from the bottom of our hearts,” said Crowell.
Fighting back tears, Giomi said he has been very lucky to have worked his career for Carson City.
“The people who work for this city are first rate. I’m one person but I’ve had the support of many people and I’m honored to have worked with them,” said Giomi.
Giomi started as a volunteer firefighter with Warren Engine Company Number one (Carson City Volunteer Fire Department) in July of 1980. He was hired as a Fire Dispatcher in November of 1983 and has since held every rank in the department through those 31 years. Giomi graduated from Carson High School and later Western Nevada College, before completing duel bachelor's degrees from Cogswell College in Sunnyvale Calif.
Giomi was Interim Fire Chief during the Waterfall fire in 2004 and was officially appointed Fire Chief on January 1, 2005.
