Swansea Fire Dept Lieutenant Chris Hajder (left) and Firefighter Jonah Perry attended the New England Fire Chiefs' annual conference at Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut. The pair was able to benefit from participating in many training sessions and opportunities including a Recruiting and Retention Seminar. The Swansea Fire companies are member-staffed by our dedicated volunteer firefighters. If you have interest in learning more about becoming a volunteer firefighter, please drop us a DM or check out https://www.swanseama.gov/departments/fire_department/index.php to find ways to contact us and learn more about our mission.

If you see these firefighters, please offer them appreciation and thanks. These dedicated volunteers represent the committee (less one) responsible for creating the 100th Anniversary events including the Firemen's Ball in May and our Family Fun weekend that concluded today.

We believe the year-long investment of these volunteer's time paid off well and reflected well on the department and all those who have served during our century of history.

Thank you to our sponsors and community who support our entire Swansea Fire Dept throughout the year. We appreciate being able to serve the Town of Swansea, Massachusetts, our families, our friends, and our neighbors.

Best wishes for another 100 years of service! Remember, our department continues to seek volunteers for our team. Please speak with a firefighter or visit our fire department page on the official town website, www.swanseama.gov.
