Carpino Observes Fire Service Day

HARTFORD- In celebration of Fire Service Day at the State Capitol, State Rep. Christie Carpino (R-32) met with Firefighter and EMT Skip Petras of the Portland fire department on May 15th.

Carpino had the opportunity to get a first-hand tutorial of the capacities of the Portland ladder truck on display at the State Capitol, and learn more about the department’s demands.

Additionally, Carpino met with the State Fire Administrator to move forward her efforts to build a much needed Middlesex County Fire Training School.
