On Thursday evening 5/13/21 at 7pm, the newly elected Fire Chiefs and Officers of the Mohegan FD gathered at LMFD Station# 2 (Jefferson Valley Station) for a swearing in ceremony. Each officer was sworn in to their position by LMFD Attorney Philip Hersh, except for Chief of Department Chris Gravius, who was sworn into position by his father Fire Commissioner Chris Gravius. Once taking oath, each officer had their badge pinned on their uniform from a family member or distinguished person. A small audience of family members, friends, MVFA Company Officers, and fellow firefighters observed this ceremony. The ceremony concluded with dessert being served. 1st Lieutenant Brandes Innes and 4th Lieutenant Matt Kness (not pictured) could not attend due to other obligations. Congratulations to our newly sworn Fire Chiefs and Officers.
