Mayor Jared M. Kraham announced that he has appointed Captain Arthur J. Griswold as the cityโs new fire marshal. A 19-year veteran of the Binghamton Fire Department, Griswold has served as the Assistant Fire Marshal since 2022. Additionally, he stepped into the role of Acting Fire Marshal earlier this year following the retirement of Fire Marshal Timothy M. OโNeill. Griswold served as a lieutenant with the fire department from 2016 until 2022. Before serving with the Binghamton Fire Department, he was a firefighter for the Village of Endicott from 2001 to 2006. โFire Marshal Griswold brings years of leadership experience and fire prevention expertise to this role,โ said Kraham in a statement. โHis appointment builds on my administrationโs work to strengthen public safety and hold problem property owners accountable, while expanding partnerships with small businesses and cutting bureaucratic red tape.โ
