Suffield Firefighter Retires After 41 Years

SUFFIELD, CT — A longtime Suffield firefighter has retired after more than four decades of service to the town.

Kevin Seger, who served as both a volunteer and career firefighter in Suffield, was recently celebrated by firefighters past and present, future firefighters and firefighters from out of town, according to a post shared Saturday by Kathy Dunai and the Suffield Board of Selectmen.

Seger served the town for 41 years.

The Suffield Fire Department said in an April 5 post that Seger started as a volunteer firefighter in January 1985. He was later hired as a full-time career firefighter in December 1997.

The department congratulated Seger on his final day as a career Suffield firefighter and wished him luck in his next chapter.

Town officials also offered best wishes, saying firefighters came together to celebrate his retirement and decades of service.
