Norwalk has four full-time employees to staff the station during hours that lack paid on-call staff availability. Rapid population growth - mostly among commuters, combined with a significant increase in calls for service has prompted the city to increase career staffing. The Norwalk Fire Department welcomes Firefighter/Paramedic Jenn Vetterick to the department, and congratulates Chief Dustin Huston on his promotion from part-time Battalion Chief to full-time Fire Chief!
