  • The Stamford Fire Department extends our deepest sympathies to the family of Captain William DeFord of the Longmeadow, Massachusetts Fire Department. Captain DeFord passed away this morning after a long and courageous battle against pancreatic cancer. Captain DeFord also was a lead recruit Instructor at the Connecticut Fire Academy and taught dozens of new Stamford firefighters. Our thoughts are with the DeFord family, Longmeadow firefighters, and all those who were inspired by Captain DeFord.
