Today we recognize and celebrate Chief Matthew Swanson as he concludes his tenure as Chief of Department for the Sloatsburg Fire Department (2023–2026).

Chief Swanson’s service to our department spans nearly three decades, beginning in 1997, and advancing into the officer ranks in 2009. His leadership, dedication, and commitment to the safety of our community have left a lasting impact on our organization.

During his time as Chief, he placed a strong emphasis on strengthening our capabilities in wildland fire response, vehicle extrication, and water rescue. Through his efforts, our department has enhanced both its equipment and training, ensuring we are better prepared to meet the evolving challenges of emergency response.

His steady leadership, forward-thinking approach, and unwavering commitment to the members of this department will not be forgotten.

On behalf of the entire Sloatsburg Fire Department, thank you Chief Swanson for your years of service, your leadership, and your dedication to this community.

We wish you continued success and look forward to your continued involvement in the department.
