Brian Hunter Jr. serves the Town of Farmington as the Assistant Chief of Tunxis Hose Company #1.

During 2004, Brian assumed command of several serious fire, medical and rescue emergencies. In each case, Brian’s ability to think on his feet and calmly manage multiple resources allowed him to direct the fire department to safely and efficiently control the situation.

Brian has proven to be a leader off of the fire ground as well. This year, Brian stepped forward and chaired the committee for his station’s new Pumper Tanker. As a direct result of Brian’s work, the Town has just placed an order for a state of the art pumper tanker that meets the needs of the community and was priced under budget. Brian was also the Chairman of the Annual Tunxis Hose Company #1 Pasta Dinner, he’s a member of the Tunxis Hose Company #1 House and Membership Committees, and he coordinated the effort for the purchase of the new Amkus Rescue Tool for the Southwest Fire Station.

Through his response to emergencies, his commitment to training, and his dedication to the community, Brian Hunter Jr. has helped to set the standard for the high quality service and care that the residents of the Town of Farmington have come to expect from their Fire Department.
