Fort Worth's interim fire chief is retiring soon. Raymond Hill will leave his position on September 1, as announced by the city on August 6. This creates a need for the city to fill the top fire department role again, less than a year after the previous chief resigned.

Hill has been serving as interim fire chief since October 28, 2025. During his time, the fire department has completed its first year of emergency medical service operation and launched a training academy. Further details about the retirement and its impact on the city's fire department are available from the Fort Worth Report.
