Mayor Gary Christenson officially welcomed Malden’s four newest firefighters during a swearing-in ceremony on Friday, May 4th at City Hall. The four newly sworn in firefighters were part of the larger group that were sworn in in February, but had not yet completed their training at the Firefighting Academy. The Malden Fire Department was able to add these positions using the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency and Response (SAFER) Grant which was made possible by the Department of Homeland Security.
The new firefighters, Brian Beckwith, Derrick Power, Ryan John Scott, and Eric Truesdale were officially sworn in by Commissioner Tom Denehy and were pinned with their official badges by family members. The firefighters and their families were then welcomed to a lunch reception in the Mayor’s office.
“It was an honor to take part in this ceremony and I am certain that Malden will be safer with the addition of these firefighters,” said Mayor Christenson.
