Shelton Fire Marshal Will Keep Certification

A state investigation into Shelton Fire Marshal James Tortora will not result in Tortora losing his certification, the Connecticut Post reported Monday.

The probe was prompted by a wide-ranging 2011 complaint by one of Tortora’s subordinates.

The complaint prompted scrutiny of the high school, where a December 2008 fire raised questions about code violations in the building and whether it had been inspected properly.

State Fire Marshal William Abbott wrote to Tortora Feb. 20 that ​“no further action shall be taken on this matter,” according to the Post.
