Scanlon releases special examination on firefighters
WILLIMANTIC — Comptroller Sean Scanlon joined Connecticut fire service leaders to observe International Firefighters Day and released the Office of the State Comptroller's (OSC) Special Examination on Firefighters in Connecticut.
This report outlines an extensive survey conducted by the OSC to assess the number of fire departments and firefighters, both career and volunteer, in Connecticut. It also includes key demographic data, such as age.
The survey was the first of its kind, as no organization is responsible for tracking these statistics, and the most recent estimate on them was published in 2017.
