BRATTLEBORO â Fire Chief Mike Bucossi is retiring after working for the Brattleboro Fire Department for 43 years in jobs he called âa lot of funâ and âvery gratifying.â
âThere certainly have been the ups and downs,â he said, as he was a shift captain on duty one night when a child died in a fire and had been on the department when a fellow firefighter died in the line of duty. âIâve also been part of some very happy times. Weâve made some very successful rescues. I just think weâre part of making somebodyâs life a little bit easier in their worse moments, you know. I think thatâs what is most gratifying whether that be a medical call, a fire or a car accident.â
