Chief
Hamilton worked as a Firefighter, Fire Engineer, Captain, Battalion Chief and on February 20th
2021, Alex Hamilton was appointed to the Fire Chief after serving 3 years as Assistant Fire Chief.
The Oxnard Fire Department has afforded Chief Hamilton the opportunity to serve on all our
specialty disciplines teams; Haz Mat, USAR, Ocean Rescue and Dive Team. Early in his career
with Oxnard, Alex found a way to enhance and augment the Fire Department through grant
funding. Chief Hamilton has now procured and successfully managed over $23 million in grants
to has provided a critical lifeline for training, equipment, vehicles and staffing – particularly in
the economic downturn that started in 2009.
However, grants have also provided the department with the opportunity to develop new
programs. Chief Hamilton’s most satisfying accomplishment was building a comprehensive
behavioral health program for our department. However, the connection with behavioral
health now runs much deeper. Chief Hamilton assisted in the development of the IAFF peer
support class, and more recently the IAFF Suicide Safety Worksheet. He has deployed multi
times for the IAFF to assist agencies after extraordinary events and continues to advocate for
strong behavioral health programs in the fire service.

Suicide Awareness and Intervention classes. He and his team have trained over 300 fire service
peer support team members in suicide intervention since the beginning of the pandemic. He is
also honored to continue to be an IAFF Master instructor in Peer Support and Resiliency classes.
Chief Hamilton also founded the Oxnard Firefighters Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit. The
Foundation has provided a range of different support to our community; from purchasing
equipment for the fire department to providing swim lessons, child seats and bike helmets to
our low income residents. The Foundation’s latest initiative prior to the beginning of the
pandemic was providing suicide intervention and awareness classes free of charge to first
responders; police, fire and EMS personnel.
On a personal level, Alex has been married to his beautiful wife for almost 18 years and they
have three children; Kayden (15), Cooper (12) and Kenzie (9) that keep them incredibly active.

you know, until they know how much you care” – Theodore Roosevelt <br><br></p></div> | mailto: alex_hamiltonsmith@yahoo.com | Alex Hamilton-Smith | |
