4th Battalion shines bright again.

Thanks so much tithe men and women of the 4th Battalion for the generous donation to our Burn Center Foundation. The 4th Battalion has an annual fundraiser for us and this year they donated more than 18,000 dollars to assure our Burn Center stays as one of the best. Thanks again.

After years of advocacy by FASNY, the NYS Assembly has passed landmark legislation increasing the volunteer firefighter and EMS tax credit from $200 to $800, the first increase since the program was established nearly 20 years ago.

This legislation, S.6233-A (Sen. Martinez) / A.6790-A (MOA McMahon), also removes outdated restrictions that prevented volunteers from receiving both the state income tax credit and locally authorized property tax exemptions, delivering long-overdue support for volunteer emergency responders across New York state.

“This is a transformational moment for volunteer emergency services in New York State,” said FASNY First Vice President, Donald J. Farrell. “Quadrupling the volunteer firefighter and EMS tax credit from $200 to $800 sends a powerful message that New York recognizes the critical role volunteers play in protecting communities every day.”

As volunteer departments statewide continue to face recruitment and retention challenges, the legislation represents one of the most significant investments in volunteer emergency services in decades.

The Senate is expected to advance the measure in the coming days.

If you had a surge in power 🔋 within the last few hours, this Osprey nest 🪹 in the power lines on Hempstead Avenue, nearest McDonald's, was the cause. PSEG is now restoring power to the area.

Hope we can still get a McMuffin!

We just finished up from this auto accident on the Southern State Parkway, westbound between Exits 18 to 17, going west. One vehicle overturned, causing minor injuries to the driver.

The other two vehicles involved had minor aided as well as a driver arrested under the suspicion of being under the influence.

Another day in the adventures of the Lakeview Fire Department and the Southern State Parkway.
