On January 1, 2024, Chief Joshua Wyman relinquished the Office of the Chief to Chief Gerry Barbiero. Serving in the office for the past 3 years, Chief Wyman led Niskayuna Fire District 2 through over 1,900 emergency responses and countless hours of training and community support. Chief Wyman was instrumental in the growth of our community outreach program by investing time and resources into building our department’s capability to deliver CPR, Stop-the-Bleed, and other lifesaving training to the residents of our Town. Chief Wyman took delivery of our 2021 Pierce Quantum Heavy Rescue and our 2022 Diamondback Airboat. Chief Wyman guided the department through the training requirements and implementation of both valuable capabilities. These achievements represent only a small snapshot of Chief Wyman’s overall impact on our department and Town as he held the ranks of Firefighter, Lieutenant, Captain, and Assistant Chief prior to being named the Chief in 2021. Chief Wyman exemplifies the pride, dedication, and tradition of the volunteer fire service. He will now rejoin our volunteers in-ranks no longer of the title “Firefighter” but with the distinction “Past Chief.” Thank you for your service, Past Chief Wyman and welcome to our 24th Chief Barbiero!
