I just talked to Jeff Bowman, who used to be fire chief of San Diego and resigned in a flurry of publicity last summer. He’s been interim fire chief in Oceanside for almost a year, but when I called him, he was being dropped off at home by Terry Garrison, who starts as the new chief tomorrow.
Bowman has also started a small winery in Escondido with his wife Denise. He said he’ll soon be starting a short-term consulting job up in Los Angeles, but wants to concentrate on his winery.
