The City of Mission named Mike Silva interim fire chief, the municipality said. Silva has 26 years of service in the fire department.

The announcement, delivered in a city news segment, said the department welcomed Silva as its new interim leader but did not specify an effective date or who he is replacing. The City of Mission did not provide additional details about his duties, appointment process or terms in the segment.

Silva’s years of service were the only personnel detail given. The city broadcaster presenting the segment identified the item as part of a roundup of recent community events and personnel updates.

No formal vote or council action was reported in the segment regarding the appointment, and the city did not cite ordinances or other authorities in connection with the interim designation.

The report did not include a direct quote from Silva or other fire department officials. For more information, the city’s communications channels may publish a fuller personnel notice or agenda item if the appointment is later brought before the City Council.
