Romaine, Bonner honor the Wading River Fire Department during annual installation dinner

Town of Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) and Councilwoman Jane Bonner (R-Rocky Point) attended the Wading River Fire Department’s annual installation dinner at Majestic Gardens in Rocky Point on Saturday, March 25, honoring the company’s members.

The Wading River Fire Department was established in 1947, providing emergency response services throughout the hamlet. Each year the volunteer members respond to more than 1,000 calls for assistance, including structure fires, motor vehicle accidents, medical emergencies, water rescues and hazardous material responses. During the evening, certificates of congratulations were presented to the officers to commemorate their years of service.

“I thank the brave members of the Wading River Fire Department who give so much of their time to protect life and property,” Romaine said. “These dedicated firefighters put their lives on the line every day, and I thank them for the sacrifices they make to keep us safe.”

Bonner added to these sentiments, saying, “I congratulate the incoming officers and the chiefs and thank all the members of the Wading River Fire Department for their service.”
