The Officers and Members of the Hughsonville Fire Department mourn the passing of Past Assistant Chief Joseph Pettit.

Joseph Pettit served the Hughsonville Fire Department as Assistant Chief in the early 1990’s. He also dedicated many years of service to W.T. Garner Engine Company #1 in the Village of Wappingers Falls, where he served as a Chief Officer and Life Member.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Pettit family, his friends, and the members of W.T. Garner Fire Company during this difficult time.

Joseph was the father of Past Chief Tyler Pettit, who previously served as Chief of the Hughsonville Fire Department in 2018.

Rest in Peace, Chief. Thank you for many years of service, leadership, and dedication to the fire service and our community. You will be missed.
