Wethersfield Volunteer Fire Department

10/16/2026

Learning and further education is endless in the Fire Service, and today is a prime example of that.
I am proud to announce the following members who have spent numerous hours furthering their education and have attained Certifications in the following areas:

Deputy Chief Dan Spina - Fire Officer III
Deputy Chief Gary Sharkevich - Fire Service Instructor I
Lieutenant Alex Sierra - Fire Service Instructor I

Those officers did all of this while conducting their everyday duties and responsibilities in their officers roles, and continued responding to calls for service.

Please thank them for their commitment to the WFD and the community.
Keep up the great work

At approximately 2227 hours on Sunday, the Wethersfield Fire Department was dispatched to a structure fire on Maple Street. The first arriving Chief Officer arrived and found heavy fire showing from the attic of a single family dwelling.
The occupants were out prior to our arrival.
Our members initiated an aggressive interior in the attic and the main body of fire was knocked down. Ventilation and overhaul was performed and the scene was turned over to the Fire Marshals office for cause and origin investigation.
Rocky Hill Fire assisted with R.I.T. coverage at the scene.
