If you want to advance through the ranks of the fire department, all the way up to fire chief, the degree can help get you there. STCC’s program opens doors for firefighters and also is a good value. My degree from STCC paved the way for me not only to further my education but to also become Fire Commissioner.Bernard J. “B.J.” Calvi, 2001, Fire Commissioner, Springfield Fire Department
