The Ridgefield Board of Selectmen will meet Friday to name the town's new Fire Chief.  The Board will act as the Fire Commission at 9am on Friday to make the announcement.  First Selectman Rudy Marconi says it will be an internal hire. 

Heather Burford left the post in December to take a job in Florida.  She led the department for seven years. 

Kevin Tappe has been the interim chief since the start of the new year.  There were three finalists interviewed for the job.
