ALBANY — Manchester Fire Department Fire Department Chief Roderick Jolivette recently successfully completed the Executive Fire Officer certification program, which is awarded through the National Fire Academy.
The program provides senior fire officers with a broad perspective on various facets of fire and emergency services administration. The courses and accompanying research examine how to exercise leadership when dealing with difficult or unique problems within communities.
