The Wyoming Fire Department has named Larry Moore as its new deputy fire chief.
In this role, Moore will oversee daily operations, support strategic initiatives, and continue to foster a
culture of professionalism, safety, and service within the Wyoming Fire Department.
“This promotion reflects not only years of dedication and service, but also a deep commitment to
leadership and continuous growth,” said Fire Chief Dennis VanTassell. “His experience across multiple
departments, combined with his proven leadership here in Wyoming, makes him exceptionally well-
suited to serve as our Deputy Fire Chief. I am confident he will continue to play a vital role in advancing
our department and serving our community.”
Moore brings nearly three decades of experience in fire service, beginning in 1997 as an on-call
firefighter with Alamo Township. In 2005, he began his full-time career with Cascade Township and went
on to serve with Kalamazoo Township and the City of Portage before joining the Wyoming Fire
Department.
Since joining Wyoming, he has advanced through the ranks, serving as firefighter, equipment operator,
and battalion chief.
Moore holds a bachelor’s degree in applied science and a master’s degree in organizational leadership.
