The Town Council began their Monday, April 10, 2023 council meeting with Chair Jeremy Gabrielson announcing the arrival of a new fire engine.  Along with the announcement, the council used the opportunity to honor Fire Chief Peter Gleeson for his years of service with a plaque that will be placed on the new fire engine.  The entire Fire and Rescue Department, as well as Gleeson's wife, son, and daughter were present for a surprise tribute and standing ovation to their chief.

The plaque reads:

"Dedicated to Chief Gleeson for over 45 yeas of commitment to the town of Cape Elizabeth, beginning at Cape Cottage."
