Public Safety: January 2012 Archives

Upland Fire Division Chief Suzanne Cable was recognized by the City Council on Monday for her service to the city.

Cable is retiring after 32 years of fire service, of which the last 10 years were spent with the Upland Fire Department.

"Thank you to everybody," Cable said. "It's been an honor to serve the city of Upland and a big thank you to my husband for putting up with me and supporting me with this decision."

Prior to working for Upland, Cable was a wild land fire fighter for the California Department of Forestry.

Councilman Ken Willis thanks Cable for her service to the city, in particular her leadership during the Grand Prix fire in 2003.

"It swept across I think over 15 houses in San Antonio Heights were lost during that horrible occasion, but I remember people talking about your leadership during that fire and things that you did to protect our citizens. Thank you," Willis said.
