On December 14, 2023, Fire Chief John Tenger, Deputy Fire Chief Jeff Sargis and Division Chief Art Holcomb had the pleasure of attending this year’s Old Timers Luncheon. This annual tradition has been taking place for decades, whereas retired chief officers are invited to attend by the current chief of their respective departments. Not just an opportunity for old colleagues to gather and share a meal, but each year a guest presenter provides inspiration and mentorship to the group. For Escondido Fire “One Team” is more than just us, it’s also the men and women who currently serve at each region, and those who have served before us. This year, retired Fire Chief Mike Lowry, retired Division Chief Tony Gossein, retired Division Chief Dominick Arena, retired Division Chief Randy Licata and retired Division Chief Pete Montgomery attended the lunch and it was a special time.
