Local leaders such as Leslie Kennedy were in attendance on Saturday, May 3rd, at the 94th Installation of Officers by the Hauppauge Fire District, where the legislator represents the 12th Legislative District.
“The Hauppauge Fire Department is an integral part to the safety and security of Suffolk County’s Twelfth Legislative District,” Leg. Kennedy’s office said in a statement.
“The Office of Suffolk County Legislator Leslie Kennedy would like to extend gratitude towards the Hauppauge Fire Department, and all those who volunteer their time to make the department the best it can be.”
Smithtown Landing hosted the event, which was coordinated by the Board of Fire Commissioners.
Members of the Hauppauge Fire Department were joined by high-ranking firefighters from across Suffolk County as well.
The day featured swearing-in ceremonies for the Hauppauge Fire Department’s Chief’s Office, Line Officers, Department Staff Officers and the Ladies’ Auxiliary.
