Sunapee Fire Department Announces the Passing of Retired Assistant Chief Dana Ramspott

It is with profound sadness that the Sunapee Fire Department announces the passing of Retired Assistant Chief Dana Ramspott following a long and courageous battle with cancer.

Dana passed away on June 2, 2026, surrounded by family and friends.

Retired Assistant Chief Ramspott dedicated 41 years, 1 month, and 17 days of faithful service to the Town of Sunapee and the Sunapee Fire Department before retiring on August 31, 2025. Throughout his distinguished career, Dana rose through the ranks and served as a respected leader within the department. He helped guide the Sunapee Fire Department through numerous administrative changes and played a vital role in mentoring and training generations of firefighters and emergency responders.

Dana’s commitment to the fire service, his leadership, and his dedication to the community left a lasting impact on the department. Many of the members he helped train and mentor are now rising through the ranks themselves, continuing the legacy of service and professionalism that he exemplified throughout his career.

The members of the Sunapee Fire Department extend their deepest condolences to Dana’s family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time.

Funeral services for Retired Assistant Chief Dana Ramspott will be held on Saturday, June 20, 2026, at 1:00 PM at the Sunapee Fire Station, located at 9 Sargent Road in Sunapee, New Hampshire.

All Fire, EMS, and Law Enforcement personnel who knew or worked with Dana are encouraged to attend. The requested attire for public safety personnel is Class A Uniforms or equivalent dress uniform attire. Members of the public are also welcome to attend and pay their respects.

For over four decades, Dana answered the call to serve his community. His contributions to the Sunapee Fire Department and the Town of Sunapee will never be forgotten.

Rest easy, Chief. Your watch is complete.

This past Monday the 27th, Washington invited us for a training. It was a great opportunity to be able to do a training with our Mutual Aid partners. Being able to work with and learn alongside other departments is a valuable asset to all communities involved that we serve.

In this scenario, there were two individuals trapped under a log pile. We were able to stabilize the logs lift the logs using airbags to pull the parties out.
