Last Friday, the Northbridge Fire Department held a special Promotional Officer Ceremony to recognize our officers' dedication, leadership, and commitment.

The evening allowed us to formally recognize several officers who have served in their new positions for the past couple of years but have never had a promotional ceremony. We were also proud to formally recognize two newly promoted officers as they begin their next chapter of leadership within the department.

While the ceremonies may have taken a little longer to happen for some, the significance of these promotions has never been lost. Each of these officers has earned the trust of their fellow firefighters and taken on the responsibility of leading our department and serving our community.

Congratulations to all of our promoted officers! We are proud of your accomplishments and grateful for the leadership you provide every day.
