The Deputy retired in January 2008, after five decades of service to the department. Prior to his appointment as Deputy Chief, Kramer had served as Captain of the Ladder company; therefore the ceremony was held in front of the 1983 Maxim ladder truck. In addition to current members of the Fire Department and Explorer Post, also present at the ceremony were Town Administrator Paul LeBeau, Retired Chief Raymond Moloney, and Retired Deputy Chief Joseph Gallerani.
