With deepest regret, we announce the passing of Sandy Hook Volunteer Fire & Rescue Company Chief William Halstead.
After responding to a call on the evening of Friday, July 8, the chief returned to his home and became ill. Despite the efforts of SHVFR personnel, Newtown Volunteer Ambulance Corps, Newtown Police Department officers, the Newtown paramedic, and the NECC team, Chief Halstead passed shortly after the incident.
Bill Halstead joined SHVFR in January 1965 when he turned 16. He had served as our chief since 1978. We are grateful for his years of service to his hometown.
Please grant us the space and time to grieve. We will announce further details when available. If necessary, we can be reached at: SandyHook1@sandyhookfire.org.
