This morning, the Officers and Members of the Hughsonville Fire Department gathered for a brief Memorial Day Ceremony to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our nation.

The ceremony was led by Deputy Chief William Beale, who reflected on the true meaning of Memorial Day and the sacrifices made by our military to protect and serve our country.

Each year, we also take time to remember members of our department who have answered their final alarm. This year, we honored the memory of Past Chief Timothy Laffin and reflected on the lasting impact he had on our department and its members.

We would like to thank all of the firefighters, family members, and community residents who joined us for our annual Memorial Day Service.

Yesterday, firefighters from the Hughsonville Fire Department proudly participated in the Town of Wappinger Community Day Parade.

Before stepping off, members of our Little League team stopped by to say hello and take a photo with our firefighters which was a great reminder of the strong connection between our department and the community we serve.

We would like to wish the Hughsonville Fire Department Little League Team the best of luck this upcoming season. Play hard and have a great year!

Congratulations to our very own Firefighter Jared Wigdor on being issued a Life Saving Award for his response to a serious motor vehicle accident while on duty for his career Fire Department.

At approximately 1815 hours on November 14, 2025, Medic 1 of the Kingston Fire Department was dispatched on a mutual aid assignment to the West Hurley Fire District for a reported motor vehicle accident involving a pedestrian with serious injuries. Upon arrival, Medic 1 was the only EMS unit on-scene and was immediately confronted with a complex and critical situation involving two severely injured patients.
One patient was found entrapped in a vehicle, suffering from a significant leg injury caused by intrusion from a guardrail into the passenger compartment. A second patient, a pedestrian who had been struck by the vehicle, was located approximately 200 feet away and was also critically injured. With two critical patients, no medical helicopters available, and an extended response time for additional advanced life support resources, the scene required immediate leadership, coordination, and decisive medical action.
Despite the absence of air medical transport, both patients were successfully stabilized and transported by ground ambulance to HealthAlliance Hospital for definitive care. The combined efforts of Firefighter Carlucci and Firefighter Paramedic Wigdor were instrumental in managing a complex, multi-patient emergency and directly contributed to the positive outcomes for both patients.
This Life Saving Award is presented in recognition of Firefighter/EMT Dominic Carlucci and Firefighter/Paramedic Jared Wigdor for their decisive actions, exceptional medical skill, and leadership under extreme circumstances. Their professionalism, teamwork, and unwavering commitment to protecting life reflect the highest standards of the fire and emergency medical services and bring great credit upon themselves and the Kingston Fire Department.
