The West Hamilton Beach Volunteer Fire Department and Ambulance Corps will celebrate its 84th anniversary with a dinner, dance and installation of officers at Russo’s on the Bay in Howard Beach on Thursday, Feb. 16 at 6:30 p.m.
“This is the one big fundraiser the department holds annually and always appreciates the great support that it receives from the community,” said Chief Joseph Aldana. “Please help us continue to help you.”
This year’s honorees will be Joseph DeCandia Jr., owner of Lenny’s Clam Bar and Roma View, and Jimmy Kolm, owner of Liberty Bell Car Care. The department will also honor three community members who lost their lives because of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks — Battalion Chief Thomas Farino, firefighter Raymond York and the department’s ex-chief Kevin Delano.
The West Hamilton Beach volunteers provide services for residents in Rockwood Park, Spring Creek, Old Howard Beach, Ramblersville and West Hamilton Beach. It also provides services along the Belt Parkway.
The department receives most of its funding from the community.
