Longtime CT Firefighter, Fire District Commissioner Dies

A retired Connecticut firefighter and fire district commissioner died over the weekend. 

Anthony "Tony D" Dimastrantonio, 84, was a 56-year member of the Warehouse Point Fire Department, and he retired from the department as a captain, his obituary states. He also was the commissioner for the Warhehouse Point Fire District for years.

Dimastrantonio became the adviser for Warehouse Point Fire Department's junior division when that was created in 1968. He held that position for more than 40 years, with many participants going on to be firefighters, officers and chiefs in their departments.
