Moraga Orinda Fire District's (MOFD) Fire Chief, Randy Bradley, welcomed newly promoted Battalion Chief Sean Perkins and Fire Captain Dan Dick at a badge pinning ceremony held January 19.

Perkins has been a firefighter since 1987. He joined Moraga Fire District in 1990, working his way up the ranks from firefighter to captain before being promoted to battalion chief. He is a Certified Chief Officer, Fire Investigator and a Strike Team Leader with the State Fire Marshal's office. Perkins, who replaces retiring Battalion Chief Randy Trumpf, will be assigned to Station 45 in Orinda.

Dick joined MOFD as a reserve firefighter in 2004 and was hired full-time in 2006. He served as "long-term" acting Captain since 2010 before being officially promoted to the position. Dick, a Moraga native, currently serves on MOFD's committee that reviews, coordinates and processes MOFD policies and procedures, and is one of three program managers for MOFD's reserve training program. Dick will fill the position vacated by the promotion of Perkins and has been assigned to Station 42 in Moraga.
