Firefighters Promoted During Special Ceremony

During a special ceremony Monday at Fire Administration on East Road, three firefighters were promoted. From left, Battalion Chief Paul Grano will supervise the C Shift, Battalion Chief Kelly Sterna will oversee training and exercises related to Los Alamos National Laboratory. Newly promoted Deputy Fire Chief Glenn Trehern is a second generation firefighter. He worked in LANL’s Fire Protection Division for 13 years and has been with LAFD for 22 years. He will be in charge of operations and will supervise all three fire shifts at LAFD. His father, Jim Trehern, was the last fire chief with the Department of Energy. Los Alamos Fire Chief Troy Hughes, at right, said there is nearly 50 years of leadership experience between the Treherns. Hughes described Monday’s newly promoted fire officials as, “three great individuals who have given a lot of years to the department and who will help LAFD reach the next level.” Photo by Carol A.
