Friends, family members and fellow firefighters gathered in City Hall’s Council Chambers tonight to celebrate the promotion of six members of the Bridgeport Fire Department.
Mayor Bill Finch and Fire Chief Brian Rooney swore in Giovanni Sanzo and Robert Marrero to Fire Inspector; Samuel Mohammad and Joel Christy to Lieutenant; Montique Pettway-Moore and Venus Scudder to Pumper Engineer.
“In Bridgeport, our first responders work hard every day to protect the kids and families of Bridgeport,” said Mayor Finch. “Congratulations to the firefighters for their hard work and efforts in making Bridgeport safer every day.”
The Bridgeport Fire Department has been recognized as a national leader in installing fire alarms in the homes of Bridgeport residents. Through its Safe Asleep program, in partnership with RYASAP, nearly 50,000 smoke alarms have been installed in Bridgeport homes.
