Peru – The Department’s 2015 officers include Chief Tyler Williams, Asst. Chief Kevin O’Neil, Asst. Chief Bryan Duprey, Lt. Shawn Perkins, Lt. Sam Dimock and EMS Captain Cher Hanlon.
Chief Williams, who is beginning his second year as chief, has been a firefighter for 19 years. He joined the department not long after his 18th birthday. Williams said the Peru Department is strong with 44 active members; however, more members are needed as older members retire or become less active.
Anyone interested in learning more about being a firefighter is welcome to attend the department’s April 25th Open House. Members will be conducting live fire and jaws of life demonstrations and will be available to answer questions. Applicants must be at last 18 years of age, out of high school and have a valid NYS driver’s license. The Open House will begin at 10 a.m. and conclude at 2 p.m.
Correction: Spelling on “Hanlon.” Author’s name added.
