Tanuvasa Petone Mauga will continue in the role of the Commissioner of Samoa Fire and Emergency Services Authority for three more years.

The Cabinet this week gave the nod to Tanvusa once again. Only one other person had applied for the role.

A veteran police naval commanding officer formerly with the Nafanua Patrol Boat and also a certified Naval Officer, Tanuvasa has been a public servant for 25 consecutive years including 16 years with the Police Force.

For over a decade, he was deployed on the Nafanua Patrol Boat. After five years as the Nafanua Commanding Officer, he left the force to continue his public service career as SFESAs’ Assistant Chief Executive Officer in charge of Special and Emergency Operations.

A product of the public school system starting from Malifa Infant and Primary Schools to Leififi Intermediate, Avele College and the National University of Samoa, Tanuvasa also completed specialised studies with Australia’s Maritime College and the U.S. Naval College based in Rhode Island.
