Bryan Chouinard: Mr. Chouinard has been a member of the GFD for over 43 years.  He has served as a past Commissioner on the Board of Fire Commissioners and has worked his way up the ranks from firefighter to Deputy Chief over the years.  Mr. Chouinard brings many years of experience and knowledge within the Fire Service to the GFD as well as knowing the NYS Fire Laws and regulations.  Mr. Chouinard has also been a Town of Wilton resident for over 50 years.  With Mr. Chouinard’s past experience on the Board of Fire Commissioners dealing with the budget, firefighters and taxpayers, his career within the district as an officer on both the administrative side and the line officer as well as a resident he feels his experience and knowledge would be useful as a member of the Board of Fire Commissioners.

William Etson:  Mr. Etson’s business ownership of a larger corporation he started has given him vast experience in the business of purchasing, negotiating contractual terms and the ability to navigate successful multi-party mediation solutions, and his additional skills would be useful as a member of the Board of Fire Commissioners.

Larry Ramsey: Mr. Ramsey’s previous years and experience as a fire fighter, as well as a past employee of the district has given him great knowledge in both the administrative and fire matic sides of the district’s operations, and feels that along with his experience and knowledge his skills would be a useful asset to the board of fire commissioners.
