Page 6 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, AUGUST 19, 2022 FIREFIGHTING | FROM PAGE 5 Shipulski and Lt. Joe Champoux were credited with risking their own lives to save another in their response to a house fire on Memorial Day in 1976. He recognized the burning house as the home of a High School friend. The two firefighters rushed into the home without their oxygen masks to rescue his friend’s father – who was trapped on the second floor and unable to call for help because he was deaf and mute. Shipulski and Champoux responded to a rattling doorknob, kicked down the door and rescued the man. For that, they received department commendations for bravery and saving the man’s life. In addition to his firefighting career, Shipulski was a talented carpenter who worked on many homes throughout New England. During the summer months he enjoyed spending time at his cottage on Newfound Lake in New Hampshire, which he rebuilt himself. Shipulski’s family was the center of his life, and his greatest joys came from being with his kids and grandchildren. He was an avid sports fan. He also loved to putter around in his yard on Main Street, where he often displayed his patriotic pride on the Fourth of July and other patriotic holidays with flowers, festive garden flags, a bench painted like an American flag, a “God Bless America”’ sign and plenty of red, white and blue. Tara Vocino contributed to this report. The late Charles Shipulski is shown on the job.
