New Haven – Mayor Toni N. Harp and Fire Chief Allyn Wright have
advanced the candidacy of Battalion Chief Matt Marcarelli to the
city’s Board of Fire Commissioners as their selection for the
department’s next Assistant Chief of Operations. The fire commission
is expected to consider the matter at its next meeting.
Marcarelli has been with the city’s fire department since 1995 and is
currently a battalion chief. He is also the department’s Safety
Officer and Director of Training. The position of Assistant Chief of
Operations has been vacant since last year’s retirement of Chief Ralph
Black; Battalion Chief Tom Neville has been serving in the position on a
temporary basis.
“I have great confidence in Battalion Chief Marcarelli’s ability to
meet the new responsibilities he’d face as assistant chief and I will
encourage the fire commissioners to consider this recommendation
favorably,” Mayor Harp said. “For the effective administration of
the city’s fire department, it is important we place the right
candidate in this position.”
“My recommendation of Matt is based upon his background and
experience as Safety Officer and Director of Training and beyond that,
I’ve seen him in action during these recent snow emergencies and had a
chance to witness what he’ll bring to the position,” Chief Wright
said. “Matt’s businesslike approach to the job and all it entails
will be a great benefit to me and to the entire department.”
