Firefighter Matt Garnett, a department veteran just shy of 10 years, was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant this morning in a brief ceremony at EFD headquarters. Garnett’s badge was presented by Fire Chief Mike Connelly who then followed up with a congratulatory handshake for the new Lieutenant.
Matt has been active in Firefighter’s Local 357, is a member of their PAC Committee and co-chaired last year’s EFD Fall Festival committee. Matt is also on the Board of Directors for 911 Gives Hope. He has been assigned toQuint 16 since November 2004.
Lieutenant Garnett’s new assignment will be on one of EFD’s newest truck, Engine 4.
