The city of Easthampton appointed Christopher Norris ’97 as its new fire chief.
Norris started out as a volunteer firefighter in the town of Westhampton in April of 1994. He had family and friends in the department who encouraged him to join. At the time, he was attending Westfield State College, living at home, and working on his family’s dairy farm so he was in town a lot and able to respond, he explained.
