On January 10, 2027, I’ll retire as Chief of the @PVDFireDept.

Generations of firefighters built something special, and its future is in good hands.

Thank you to our members, the people of Providence, and especially my family.

There’s no better job. I’ll miss it.

Rescue 10 is coming to Providence!

Mayor Brett Smiley Verified account @PVDMayor Aug 17

Today, we are excited to announce that we have not only added a new rescue with modernized features for faster response times, but for the first time in 10 years - we are expanding EMS coverage during the hours when our City sees the highest demand with a 10th staffed rescue. This expansion builds on the two impact rescues placed last fall and is part of our strategic plan to match emergency response resources to demands.

By collaborating and investing in our Fire Department, we continue to strengthen our public safety infrastructure and are building a safer Providence for all.
