Nassau Juniors Officers for2023

On January 14, 2023, over 170 juniors, advisors, and family members joined in as the Nassau County Junior Firefighter’s Association swore in their 2023 officers: President Kyra Kozey of Syosset, 1st VicePresident Gia Wailia of Hicksville, Khadeejah Memon of East Norwich, Secretary Samara Metha of Jericho, Treasurer Audrey Sasso of Hewlett and Sergeant-at-Arms Sofia Pierno of Floral Park Centre.

The Association was formed in 2006 and this is the first year it has an all-female board. In President Kozey’s speech, she stated she was going to put a lot of focus on training and bringing attention to more junior groups in the county. She also stated she plans to meet with Suffolk County groups that have expressed interest in starting an association. There is no doubt that 2023 will be a very active and productive year.

Since the association started, it has grown in every way, each year coming up with new innovative ways to keep juniors engaged and coming back for more. Although the Junior Firefighter Program focuses on training the youth to become firefighters, a big part is based-on community service and leadership.
