OC Fire Chief set to retire this spring

OCEAN CITY, Md. – The Town of Ocean City is reporting that Fire Chief Chris Larmore will retire this coming spring.

Larmore has been leading the Ocean City Fire Department for nearly 12 years. He was hired as the department’s first chief when the town created a combined fire department back in 2008, and since then has been responsible for overseeing the department’s various divisions, including the volunteer division, career division, and the fire marshal’s office.

“Chief Larmore lead the department through both changing and challenging times. He played a vital role in the successful merging of our volunteer division and our EMS division. He exemplified the logan, ‘United to Serve’ and his service will most certainly be missed,” said City Manager Doug Miller in a statement.

No official date has been set, but officials say Larmore is expected to retire before the summer season begins.
