Assistant Chief Taner Drake

The Tomball Fire Department welcomed a new assistant fire chief who brings nearly 30 years of experience serving as a firefighter at departments across Texas. Drake came from Webster, where he served as a lieutenant before coming to Tomball. Drake began his career in firefighting with the Odessa Fire Department, where he spent much of his time combating brush fires in West Texas. He worked his way through the ranks there for 19 years, leaving as an assistant chief in 2011 to become the fire chief in Victoria. He was there for seven years before leaving to the Houston area for the Webster Fire Department to be closer to his children and two granddaughters.
