Peek says he has a product to offer that you can't resist" and it's available to everyone. That product is fire safety and protection.- Peek was appointed chief of the Layton Fire Department last week and brings 23 years of experience to the department with him. He left the position of fire marshal with the Ogden Fire Department to come to Layton. He had been with that department for 23 years. But Peek said his firefighting actually goes further back than that. He was born in Ogden. His ancestors were among the first settlers in South Weber so the Ogden area has always been home. He attended local schools and graduated from Weber High. He also attended Weber State College where he was a student body officer in 1960-6Long before his training in college he was interested in fire protection, however.

During those years he also was an instructor in fire science for Utah Technical College involved in training. Peek said he taught fire personnel through the northern end of the state how to handle just about all aspects of firefighting.

While Peek brings much training and expertise to the position of chief in Layton he does not lack a personal understanding for fire victims. His own home was destroyed by fire several years ago. He said he can totally relate to the trauma a family suffers when all of their belonging and possessions are destroyed in a fire and through his contact with those who have physically suffered in investigation ar 'S V places. He also does private fire a fire he said he has developed a great deal of empathy. He said he is pleased to have an opportunity to help offer safety and protection to die citizens of Layton. He said a continued emphasis would remain with prevention of fires, life saving, and property conservation. He and his wife, Susan, now live in Roy but will be moving to Layton soon. They are the parents of six children and have seven grandchildren. Peek said he especially wanted to express his appreciation to the men he is working with in Layton.
