Two local firefighters – one from Chula Vista and the other from San Diego — have been deployed to Florida to help with the response to Hurricane Ian.
Harry Muns, the Chula Vista Fire Chief, was deployed to Florida on Tuesday and landed in Pensacola, Florida, and is ready to get to work.
“We’re fortunate enough to have someone of his acumen and abilities to be called up to national emergencies like this representing both our city and the country and then we are lucky enough to have him bring that expertise back and lead our organization when he gets home,” CVFD Capt. Josh Sanders told NBC 7.
Chief Muns has been with Chula Vista for over 20 years. He’s a part of FEMA California Task Force 8. Earlier this week, FEMA requested help from two incident support team members, one from San Diego Fire Rescue and Chief Muns.
