Fire Chief Jesus Varelas
Jesus Varelas has served in the ECFD his entire career, joining the service at 17. During that time he has been an excellent firefighter, routinely risking his life in order to rescue others. He has been awarded a number of medals and commendations due to his selfless nature; he believes he was just doing his job, but even so he is humbled by the recognition. His rise to fire chief ten years ago was deserved, and he has continued to serve the department well. Known for his quick, clear thinking in an emergency, he has made a name for himself as a worthy leader and is popular with the men and women that work for him.
Jesus is a 52-year-old Hispanic man. He is quite fit and works hard to maintain his health. His hair is black and his skin quite swarthy while his eyes are a startling green.Whether on duty or off, Jesus always has a half-smoked cigar clamped firmly between his teeth. A widower, he has four children, all girls, aged 20, 18, 15, and 13 years old.
