I had the pleasure of working for Chief Miller during the transition to County Fire in 1999 and for several years after. Chief Miller was very warm and welcoming during the transition and I very much appreciated that. It was a time of uncertainty for myself and the Chief put me at ease very quickly. At that time the North Desert Division is where Chief Miller was assigned. The NDD is a very large division and we ran across each other frequently and it was not long before we were friends. His kindness and helping hand to myself and my station will be missed and not forgotten.
On Saturday December 19th, I, along with Chief Miller's family and many members of the San Bernardino County Fire Department attended a Celebration of Life and said Goodbye to retired Battalion Chief Allen Miller. Other departments that attended included CALFIRE, Apple Valley FPD, USFS and members of the USAF.
