New fire chief to be sworn in in Cranston

More than 60 firefighters will share the spotlight in Cranston tomorrow -- including the city’s new fire chief -- at a ceremony for the Cranston Fire Department.

James Gumbley will be sworn in as Cranston’s new fire chief and 65 firefighters will be promoted at a ceremony at Rhodes on the Pawtuxet. It’s the first promotions ceremony for the department in five years.

The Cranston High School West Choir will perform the National Anthem; the Cranston Firefighters Color Guard will post colors, and additional music will be performed by the Rhode Island Professional Firefighters Pipe and Drum.

The ceremony is set for 6:30 p.m. at the Rhodes.
