🚒 Congratulations and Happy Retirement! 🚒

The Greenwich Fire Department would like to congratulate Deputy Fire Marshal Bob Roth and Deputy Chief Erik Maziarz on their retirements today after a combined 50 years of dedicated service to the Greenwich Fire Department and the community.

Deputy Fire Marshal Bob Roth retires after 27 years of service. During his career, Bob served as a firefighter, Deputy Fire Marshal, and Fire Marshal. His commitment to fire prevention and public safety extended well beyond the firehouse. Bob was instrumental in developing and supporting our child car seat safety installation program, helping countless families make sure their children were properly protected. He also played a significant role in our public education programs in local schools, teaching generations of Greenwich children about fire safety.

Deputy Chief Erik Maziarz retires after 23 years of service. Erik progressed through the ranks from firefighter to Lieutenant and ultimately Deputy Chief. Over the past several years, he was instrumental in the planning and purchase of new fire apparatus, helping ensure our members have the equipment they need to safely serve the community. Erik also played a key role in updating our hose layouts and operating procedures, helping modernize the way our companies operate at emergencies.

Bob and Erik have each left a lasting mark on the Greenwich Fire Department. Their knowledge, leadership, dedication, and commitment to the community will be missed by all of us.

Please join us in congratulating Bob and Erik on their retirements and thanking them for their many years of service to the Town of Greenwich.

We wish them well in the next chapter of their lives!

This week, Greenwich Fire Department members took part in important training exercises focused on the skills and knowledge needed to safely and effectively respond to emergencies in our community.

On Wednesday evening, members conducted ladder training, reinforcing the proper techniques for raising, positioning, climbing, and working from ladders. Ladder operations are a critical part of fireground operations, providing firefighters with access to upper floors, roofs, and other areas that may otherwise be difficult to reach.

During the weekdays, members also participated in a water supply tabletop exercise. This training focused on planning and decision-making for establishing and maintaining an adequate water supply during large incidents. Understanding hydrant locations, tanker operations, water shuttle operations, and other water supply considerations is essential when firefighters are operating in areas where a dependable water source may be limited.

Both exercises highlight an important part of the Greenwich Fire Department: being prepared before the call comes in. Regular training allows our members to build confidence, sharpen their skills, and be ready to work together when the community needs us most.

Train today. Be ready tomorrow. 🔥🚒
