Julius Halas is a 48 year veteran of the fire service, starting out as a firefighter in Sarasota, FL and working his way up to Fire Chief, then consolidating his way out of a job - one of the most humble, team focused, and mission driven people I have ever had the chance to meet.

Ultimately rising the to the position of Director of the State Fire Marshals Office, Julius retired in the same city where it all began when I met with him last week at the Florida Fire Marshals and Inspectors Association as he passed the baton to his successor.
