  Sanford Anderson, who joined the Norwalk Fire Department in 1959, was officially promoted from assistant chief to chief during a special meeting of the Board of Fire Commissioners at City Hall.
  
  "Sanford Anderson is being appointed chief of the Fire Department of the city of Norwalk because he is a superb firefighter and has done that his whole life," Mayor Alex Knopp said, bringing the crowd that packed the Common Council Chambers to its feet.
  ...

  ...
  Anderson then stood at the podium and reflected on his lengthy career, recalling how he rose through the ranks by working hard to perform well on promotion exams.Yesterday aside, the only time Anderson gained a rank by appointment was when he became assistant chief, he said.
  
  Anderson, who gave recognition to many family members in attendance, including his wife, Josephine, his mother and two daughters, pledged to do his best to help the citizens of Norwalk as long as he heads the fire department.Norwalk's first black firefighter, Anderson, 71, also is the department's first black chief.
  
  The contract he began serving under yesterday expires in one year.

  Fire Commissioner Carol Andreoli and former Fire Chief Sanford Anderson, who also attended the hearing, agreed with the anonymous firefighter.
  ...
  In addition to Mackey and Day, former Mayor Alex Knopp and Anderson were invited to speak at the hearing.
  ...
  In his prepared statement, Knopp also spoke of his decision to appoint Anderson, who had been with the Fire Department for 46 years at that time, as chief "to honor Sandy for his great service to Norwalk."

  ...
  Anderson agreed that the incident with Wilson and the videotape is in the past and should be kept there.

  ...
  Anderson, McCarthy's predecessor and the city's first black firefighter and fire chief, said he was never made aware of any racial intolerance within the department.
  
  A 46-year veteran, Anderson was promoted to chief in 2004 after several years as assistant chief.
  
  He retired in April 2005 -- a month after the Broad River station video was recorded -- and was hired as Greenwich's first black fire chief.
  
  Anderson, who lives in Norwalk, said he has been following the media accounts of the videotape.He indicated it is not uncommon for firefighters to joke about one another's ethnicity and said members know it is not a sign of animosity.
  
  "That is commonplace in the fire department.It means nothing," Anderson said.
