Greenhaw Promoted to Lieutenant in Fire Department

Editor's note: The following news release was received from the Fairfield Fire Department:

Fairfield Fire Fighter Justin Greenhaw was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Thursday evening prior to the Fire Commission Meeting in a ceremony held in the historic Memorial Room of the Fairfield Public Library.

The seven-year veteran of the Fairfield Fire Department filled an opening left by Lieutenant Brad Sherman who recently retired after more than 33 years of service.

Greenhaw is currently Treasurer of the Fairfield Fire Fighters Association, IAFF Local 1426, and served in the U. S. Air Force prior to being hired by the town in early 2004. He was joined by his wife, two children, and parents who had flown in from California to witness the ceremony, along with several dozen officers and firefighters from the department as Town Attorney Richard Saxl and First Selectman Sherri Steeneck performed the promotional ceremony before Fire Chief Richard Felner and the Board of Fire Commissioners.
