Sparks, NV - The City of Sparks has selected three finalists to fill its open Fire Chief position. The finalists were selected with the assistance of Ralph Andersen and Associates, an external recruiting firm.  On January 25, 2023, the finalists will participate in a one-day assessment and interview to compete for the position. City Manager Neil Krutz anticipates selecting the next Chief of the Sparks Fire Department at the completion of the in-person effort.

The three finalists are:
