Almost 15 years to the day before his son was sworn in as Hamden's newest fire captain, Mark Barletta was sworn in as Hamden's fourth Deputy Fire Marshal* on Monday, December 18, 2000.
The occasion also marked the swearing-in of eight recruit firefighters, including Michael Battick, David Beaton, Michael DeLine, Sr., Victor Jackson, Charles Lubowicki, Jr., Kevin Recca, John Slot and Kim Talmadge, all of whom had finished recruit training following their October 6, 2000 appointments.
Mark Barletta served as Hamden's fourth Deputy Fire Marshal, from 2000 until he succeeded Bob Westervelt as the department's fourth Fire Marshal*, from 2003 until his retirement on June 30, 2006. He also served as the HFRA's first president until he and his wife Marty moved to Florida two years ago. Marty Barletta was one of Hamden's first four civil service civilian fire dispatchers, serving during the late 1970s and early 1980s.
