Stan Maupin
Redwood City Fire Chief Stan Maupin, whose department also serves San Carlos, announced Wednesday he has retired after three decades in fire service.
Maupin is a 13-year veteran of the Redwood City Fire Department, having been appointed fire chief in 2016 after serving as deputy fire chief for more than four years. Moving forward, Deputy Fire Chief Dave Pucci will serve as acting fire chief.
“Serving as fire chief for the cities of Redwood City and San Carlos has been the pinnacle of my career and I am grateful for the many opportunities and experiences over the past 30+ years,” Maupin said in a press release. “Not many people can say they worked their dream job; I am definitely one of them.”
Prior to becoming a fire department executive, Maupin served as a strike team leader for nearly 20 years and in that role helped fight over 15 wildfires throughout the state. He also served as line safety officer to ensure the safety of firefighters statewide, according to the release.
Maupin was instrumental in the negotiation and implementation of the San Carlos Fire Services contract and renewal, which the release described as an “innovative approach to providing high-quality fire services while being financially beneficial to both San Carlos and Redwood City.”
Maupin held various leadership positions at the state and county level, including five years as chair of the State of California High Rise Committee, previous chair of the Operations and Training sub-committees of the San Mateo County Fire Chief’s Association, previous chair of the San Mateo County Deputy Chiefs, and chair for multiple years of the San Mateo County Fire Chiefs Association. Maupin is also a long-standing member of the International Association of Fire Chiefs and the National Fire Academy.

Congratulations Stan on your retirement It seems like yesterday you were a volunteer here in Foster City. You and Captain Tom saved a joggers' life on the levee. You have done an awesome job and have the respect of all the Departments around here. You deserve the benefits in our Fire Departments. We will see you along the way at dinners, retirements in the area. Best wishes from us all..
Congratulations Stan and thank you for your years of service in Foster City. May your retirement be healthy and relaxing.
I have to correct myself Stan was a member of the FC Fire dept. My husband and our neighbor were biking to Gold's Gym when they came upon John Burson who was unresponsive on the levee..Stan was training nearby and there just happened to be a Foster City cop close by. Mr. Burson had 3 angels that day watching out for him. My husband got the valor Mayor award from the Hillsborough Mayor and City Council. The paper wrote it was the cops rescue The cop didn't know how to do CPR they taught him.
One lady told him he was an angel that day..Tom got the award at the City Csouncil meeting..Lots of blessings that day. Thank you for correcting me about Stan' service.
