Firefighter Entrance Exam Sought by Board of Fire Commissioners
The Board of Fire Commissioners voted to again request the Civil Service Board to conduct an examination for firefighter vacancies. Assistant Chief Francis Chandler noted a similar request was made in February. George Shamiss said vacancies must be filled. The board also sought certification of the next eligible probationary fire lieutenant. Two firefighters received leaves for two weeks of military training next month. A letter of praise from Bridgeport Gas Co. praised firefighting at a large tank blaze on Wordin Avenue, to be posted at each engine house. Commissioners approved light-weight blue trousers for travel to and from engine houses, noting wearing is optional.
