Please join me in congratulating Car 60 / Tim Cullinan on his promotion to Deputy Chief at Milford Fire.

As most of you probably are aware, Cully is an excellent Incident Commander with a wonderful radio presence. He has been with Milford Fire since 1988 and climbed up through the ranks, making Lt. in 1993, and Capt. in 2003.

Some of you may recall, Cully being referred to as "Mr. Hollywood", as a result of his candid press releases with various media outlets, following incidents where he was the OIC. Well, we are truly looking forward to Tim's tenure as a Chief Officer in the Borough of MACC Base and more publicity for the FD. The Firefighters are in great hands with Tim and the Town of Milford has just beefed up it's fireground management team.

So, Congratulations Cully!! We will be sure to keep an ear out and listen for 20-C-3 on the air, "K".

Sincerely,

SW NH Car 61
