The Mastic Fire Department Chemical Company #1 recently hosted its 99th Annual Installation of Officers and Awards Dinner.

The 2024 Line Officers, Administrative Officers, and Fire Police Officers all took their oaths of office.

They honored outgoing officers and the dedicated service of volunteer firefighters in the past year.

Two former Chiefs were honored for their decades of service saving the lives of others. Former Chief Don Ruben was honored for achieving 50 years of service and former Chief Pete Rosato was recognized for achieving 70 years of service.

The South Shore Press thanks all first responders and volunteer firefighters for putting “service over self” to keep our Long Island communities safe.
