About the Fire Chief

Chief Bill Myers began his career with the Gwinnett County Department of Fire and Emergency Services in 1983 after serving in the United States Navy. He rose up through the ranks from firefighter to fire chief, proving to be a highly motivated leader with experience in all areas of the fire department. He attended the first paramedic program offered by the fire department and has served in some of its busiest stations for most of his career.  

Chief Myers' diverse background and executive skills have led to the development of some of the fire department's innovative fire and medical techniques, employee leadership and career development, and the improvement of a work-safe environment for 850 employees. His devotion to the fire department and its employees is reflected in his prudent, achievement-oriented management style of open communication and shared leadership responsibilities.  

Chief Myers serves on the Georgia State Board of Public Safety, the Southeastern Association of Fire Chief’s Board of Directors, and previously on the Region III EMS Council.
