Lt. Justin Desrosiers has been named the town’s new fire chief.
Town Manager Kevin Dumas announced the appointment Thursday. Desrosiers replaces retiring longtime Chief Neal Boldrighini.
Desrosiers has served on the Mansfield Fire Department for the last 15 years, including as a firefighter-paramedic, field training officer, Emergency Medical Services coordinator and most recently as the EMS officer.
As EMS officer, he took a new position and “instituted a flourishing Community EMS Program designed to fill the gaps in caring for at-risk populations as well as public nursing functions for the community,” Dumas said.
Named a lieutenant in May 2018, Desrosiers has also served as the fire department liaison to the school district, the Council on Aging and the health department.
