Chief Ryan Brown

Chief Ryan Brown, the first full-time fire chief in Lee and the fourth generation in his family to follow this path, succeeded in his mission to upgrade the fleet with new ambulances. Colleagues say Ryan puts in hours of overtime and is a great champion of Lee. He is also a member of the International Association of Fire Chiefs, which serves as a platform for international networking, and is an instructor at the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy, a role that sharpens the 32-year fire service veteran’s skills and keeps his knowledge current.
