Greenwich Fire Department Annual Banquet.

It was a wonderful evening to recognize the dedication, service, and commitment of the members who give so much to our community. Our local fire departments are built on teamwork, training, sacrifice, and heart, and Greenwich is fortunate to have such a strong group of volunteers who continue to show up for their neighbours.

I also want to acknowledge the families who support our firefighters. When the call comes in, families are often the ones left waiting, adjusting plans, and offering the support that makes this service possible. Their contribution matters deeply.

Congratulations to Chief Redden, who has now been serving in the role for the past few months. His continued service and leadership are appreciated, and I know the department will continue to build on its strong foundation.
