South Queens heroes mark big milestone

West Hamilton Beach Volunteer Fire Department celebrates 85 years. The members who were at the firehouse that night were honored along with vollies who assisted with responding to a car crash on the Belt Parkway earlier in 2012, at the department’s 85th Anniversary celebration dinner last Thursday at Russo’s On the Bay. The department also honored politicians both past and present who have helped the department over the years.
