Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Fire Chief Jeffrey Blanchard and Town Manager Troy Clarkson have
announced that Barbara Stone has been appointed Deputy Chief of the
Hanover Fire Department. Deputy Stone has been serving in an acting
capacity since July of 2011, and recently completed an assessment
center conducted by consultants Morris and McDaniel, Inc.
“Deputy Stone impressed the independent panel chosen to assess all
three candidates. She has proven to be an effective fire officer and
will continue to be a valued asset to the Department,” said Chief
Blanchard.
Deputy Stone has been with the Hanover Fire Department since 1982,
serving as a Call Firefighter, Professional Firefighter, Captain, and
most recently, Provisional Deputy Chief. She lives in Hanover with her
husband Henry and their children Sarah and Chris.
The vacancy caused by the permanent appointment of Deputy Stone has
been filled by Captain Gino DeAcetis. Captain DeAcetis had been
serving as Acting Captain since October of 2011. He has been with the
Hanover Fire Department since 1985. He lives in Hanover with his wife,
Robin and their daughter Alyvia.
“In addition to his many years of experience as a member of the
Hanover Fire Department, he has done an excellent job serving as
Provisional Captain on Group 1 and is certified as an EMT –
Intermediate,” noted Chief Blanchard.
Captain DeAcetis joins Captains Jim Gallagher, Rob Kenney, Jason
Cavallaro and Martin Alfis as departmental supervisors.
“It’s great to see our home-grown professionals rise through the
ranks and assume command positions within the department,” said Town
Manager Troy Clarkson.
Deputy Stone and Captain DeAcetis will be joined by their families at
a badge pinning ceremony on December 18 at 4:00 p.m. at the Hanover
Town Hall. For more information, contact
