Lynbrook (NY) Fire Department’s Tally-Ho Engine Company 3 Dedicates, Wets Down New Truck

Lynbrook (NY) Fire Department’s (LFD) Tally-Ho Engine Company 3 recently held a dedication and wet-down ceremony at the Horton Avenue station for its new 2021 Spartan truck, reports liherald.com.

Mayor Alan Beach and members of the village board were present along with county and town officials. Also in attendance were the chiefs of the LFD and other local fire companies.

During the ceremony, former Chief and Honorary Commissioner Thomas Ryan broke the ceremonial bottle of champagne on the front pumper. Our Lady of Peace deacon Kevin McCormick also blessed it.

Gustine (CA) VFD Welcomes Fire Apparatus

The Gustine Volunteer Fire Department has taken ownership of a new fire truck, reports The West Side Connect.

Congressman Jim Costa offered remarks at the event before Mayor Pat Nagy presented the check, in the amount of approximately $645,000, to Ken Howenstine, a representative of Burton’s Fire, Inc., of Modesto.

A public dedication of the new truck will be held next week. The truck will be dedicated in memory of Cal Fire Captain Paul Rotondaro, who was instrumental in helping the city secure grant funds to purchase the truck.

With the exception of about $30,000 in local funds, the purchase of a new fire truck was funded by a federal grant received through FEMA, City Manager Doug Dunford said. Fire Chief Pat Borrelli said last week that striping and numbering must be completed and equipment installed before the truck is put into service.
