“Jeff has been with the Raynham Fire Department for nearly 25 years, starting as a call firefighter,” Chief Januse said. “Since that time, he has been an integral part of our department as he has worked his way up the ranks, including serving a vital role as our community outreach officer. On behalf of the entire department, I would like to congratulate Jeff on this next step of his career.”

Kelleher began his career with the Raynham Fire Department as a call firefighter in 1995. He was hired as a full-time firefighter for the department in 1998. In January 2017, he was named an acting lieutenant and was subsequently promoted to the rank of lieutenant seven months later.
