A new Captain has been sworn in for the Danbury Fire Department.  Lt. Jaime Schiller’s promotion to Captain was approved by the City Council last Wednesday, and he was sworn in as Captain the following day.  Schiller's family, friends and colleagues were on hand for the event. 

Schiller is a 17 year veteran of the Danbury Fire Department.  He was hired in 1999 and promoted to Lieutenant in November of 2007.  He will begin his new role as Captain on “C group”, replacing retired Captain Dave Easter. 

Schiller is an active member of the community, volunteering as an after school program mentor and teaching CPR at Danbury Hospital.
