'Inspiration' to the department: Former Pittsfield Deputy Fire Chief Michael Polidoro dies

The Berkshire Eagle Polidoro, who joined the department in 1988, retired in 2017, after contracting amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, which is a progressive nervous system disease. He is survived by his wife, three children and three stepchildren. “I’ve said this all along: Deputy Polidoro was a firefighter’s firefighter,” Sammons said. “He was a guy you would look up to. His dedication to the job was 150 percent every day. “It’s kind of a hard day for us here,” he said. In a post on the Pittsfield Fire Department’s Facebook page, the Pittsfield members of A.F.F. Local 2647 also praised Polidoro for his service.
