The officers and members of the Slater Chemical Fire Company extend our deepest condolences to our brothers and sisters of the Hughsonville and Wappingers Falls Fire Departments on the passing of Tim Laffin, former Fire Chief of both departments.

Chief Laffin began his service to the fire community at just 14 years old, dedicating his life to protecting others. Over the years, he exemplified strong leadership, unwavering commitment, and a deep sense of duty to his community. His distinguished career has left a lasting impact on all who had the honor of serving alongside him.

We ask the community to keep Chief Laffin’s family, friends, and fellow firefighters in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Chief Laffin’s legacy of service and dedication will never be forgotten.
