Hail to the Chief!
July 7, 2022
• At the July 4th parade we spoke with recently retired Chief Condon about his 36 year career with the Needham Fire Department.
Talk about going out with a bang! When Fire Chief Dennis Condon picked a date to retire, he landed on the 4th of July. Lucky for us, he always rides close to the front of the Exchange Club parade. We asked our parade hosts Mike Riley and Colleen Lavery to take a few oments with the Chief to look back at his remarkable career in Needham, and wish him well.
