Remembering Our Fallen
2019
Story by Ex-Captain/Hon Chief Steve Grogan; Photos by Brian Grogan
On Sunday morning October 20, 2019, members of the Lynbrook Fire
Department, its Ladies Auxiliary and Junior firefighters, assembled,
as they do each year, at the Firefighters Memorial on Sunrise
Highway and Earle Avenue, to remember six Lynbrook volunteers who
died in the line of duty for this community between 1932 and 1963.
The service was led by Chief of Department Nick Pearsall, and the
Lynbrook mayor, village trustees, and county and town officials were
in attendance. Mayor Alan Beach spoke during the service.
After the service, which included laying a wreath at the stone
marker which lists the name of those six volunteers, the
firefighters then marched to Truck Company's firehouse on Earle
Avenue for breakfast. The guest speaker at the breakfast was
retired FDNY Rescue 1 and Freeport firefighter Paul Hashagen. |
