Two New Center District Members Sworn In

Wednesday night marked the beginning of two firefighting careers in the Center District. First on the career side is Joseph Mauro, a coast guard veteran who graduated from the Connecticut Fire Academy in December from Recruit Class 72 he joins us through the Hero 2 Hero program founded by Chris Shea, a Naval Special Operations veteran. On the Volunteer side is Olivia Caldarella, an intern at our department and senior at the University of New Haven, she was sworn in as a member of Hook & Ladder Co. 1 where she’ll begin what we hope and believe will be a long fruitful journey in the fire service as a volunteer firefighter with Truck 26. Congratulations to both and welcome to the West Haven Fire Department.
