Yesterday morning, companies were dispatched to a reported structure fire in backcountry Greenwich. Initial reports indicated a detached garage fire that was possibly spreading to the main residence. Engine 8 arrived first and confirmed a working fire. The garage was fully involved, and the fire had extended into the main living area of the home.

Engine 8 deployed a 2.5-inch line to begin extinguishment, and Squad 1 arrived shortly after, stretching an additional 1.75-inch line to the front door to initiate an interior attack. Because the incident occurred in a non-hydranted area of town, a tanker shuttle operation was required to supply water to the scene. All responding companies worked together to quickly establish a water supply and bring the fire under control.

All occupants were safely accounted for, no injuries were reported, and the Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the cause of the fire.

Greenwich Professional Firefighters Local 1042 extends our deepest condolences to our brothers and sisters of the Greenwich Police Department, and especially to the friends and family of Officer Robert “RJ” Pascale.

We stand in solidarity with the Greenwich Police Department and the Silver Shield Association during this heartbreaking time.

God bless you, Officer Pascale, and thank you for your dedicated service to the Town of Greenwich.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the untimely passing of Officer Robert Pascale #116.

Officer Pascale was born and raised in Stamford, Connecticut. He attended Penn State University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Criminology and a Bachelor of Science in Economics, along with the Smeal College Business Fundamentals Certificate.

He began his career with the Greenwich Police Department on April 18, 2022. Officer Pascale graduated from the New Britain Police Academy’s 19th training session. From his first day, he served the Town of Greenwich with professionalism, integrity, and compassion. Known for his strong work ethic, excellent report writing, and willingness to help others, Officer Pascale earned multiple letters of recognition during his time with the Department.

Officer Pascale was more than a dedicated member of the Greenwich Police Department-he was a kind soul, a loyal teammate, and a true friend to everyone who knew him. He was known for his steady presence, his willingness to help others, and the way he treated everyone-colleagues and community alike-with genuine respect. His passion for service extended beyond the badge, volunteering his time with local charities and staying active in the sports he loved most, football and lacrosse.

Officer Pascale represented the very best of our profession. His kindness, dedication, and spirit will never be forgotten.

Calling hours will be held from 2pm-8pm on Sunday, November 2nd, at Bosak Funeral Home located at 453 Shippan Avenue, Stamford, CT. A Mass will be held at Church of Saint Cecilia on Monday, November 3rd , at 10:30 am located at 1184 Newfield Avenue, Stamford, CT.
