We Are SBCERA: Dan Munsey & Jim Grigoli

Meet Fire Chief/Fire Warden Dan Munsey and recently retired Fire Captain Jim Grigoli of the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District.

For Dan and Jim, their careers have always been about protecting others. From responding to emergencies to mentoring the next generation of firefighters, they have dedicated decades to serving the residents of San Bernardino County and helping build a stronger fire service for the future.

Reflecting on retirement, Jim shares, “SBCERA gives you the confidence of knowing you’ll receive a secure income for the rest of your life. That’s something you really come to appreciate.”

Throughout their careers, they’ve seen firsthand what a secure retirement means for the firefighters who came before them. Watching colleagues retire with confidence after years of dedicated service reinforced the value of planning for the future and the peace of mind a pension provides.

Dan also credits SBCERA with helping members prepare for retirement. “SBCERA has created a clear path to understanding retirement. From the workshops to the videos and resources, they’ve done an outstanding job helping members navigate the process.”

As Jim begins his well-earned retirement and Dan continues serving the community, both share a common appreciation for the confidence that comes with a secure retirement—allowing them to focus on what matters most.

Please join us in congratulating Jim Grigoli on his well-earned retirement and thanking him for his decades of dedicated service to the residents of San Bernardino County. In addition to his distinguished career with the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District, Jim’s leadership as President of IAFF Local 935 championed and supported firefighters throughout the region. We wish him all the best in this exciting new chapter!
