Lebanon, Ore. Last night during the Lebanon Fire District Board meeting, Fire Chief Joseph Rodondi was sworn in by Board President Robert Taylor. Chief Rodondi joins the Lebanon Fire District after an impressive career with the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department in California.
Chief Rodondi attended the College of San Mateo, where he earned an Associate of Science Degree in Fire Science, the University of Phoenix where he earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Management and holds several professional certifications from the California State Fire Marshal’s Office. He is also a member of the International Fire Chief’s Association.
Chief Rodondi was hired by the Board of Directors following the announcement of plans to retire by former Fire Chief Gordon Sletmoe. As part of the swearing in ceremony, Chief Rodondi was pinned by his wife, Debra, and three children. Chief Sletmoe also presented Debra Rodondi with flowers from the District as a token of appreciation and welcome to the Lebanon Fire District Family.
Following the swearing in of Chief Rodondi, Chief Sletmoe was awarded the flag flown on his final day as Chief and a bell ringing service.
The Lebanon Fire District wishes Chief Sletmoe the best in his retirement and extends a very warm welcome to Chief Rodondi and his family.
