I have been asked why I want to be a Hauppauge Fire Commissioner. The answer is simple. It is an opportunity to do the right thing for the community I grew up in and for the volunteer firefighters who work so hard to keep our Hauppauge community safe. It is an opportunity to give back to those who give so much of themselves – to be their voice and represent their needs.

I am a 4th generation Hauppauge resident as well as a 4th generation member of the Hauppauge Fire Department. I was raised in Hauppauge, went to school here, worked here and I am currently raising my 3 amazing children in this wonderful community. I come from a tradition of public service, and I feel that public service is one of the most honorable things that a person can do in life. I feel very strongly about carrying on my family tradition of working to help improve the lives of our residents, business owners, and the amazing volunteers who serve so selflessly. 

The task of protecting the community from fires, storm emergencies, tragic accidents and countless other emergency situations that place our residents’ lives in jeopardy is the job of the Hauppauge Fire District and the Hauppauge Fire Department. In the 21st century it has become an increasingly complex job with increased training requirements, maintaining the proper firefighting tools and apparatus to be able to manage any emergency while not forgetting that we must be prudent with taxpayers’ money.

I will faithfully represent the residents as well as the volunteers of the Hauppauge Fire Department. I will voice your concerns and will go above and beyond for you and your family. Your concerns are my concerns. I am laser focused on being that voice for you.

In conclusion, I love this town and the rich history of the Hauppauge Fire District and the Hauppauge Fire Department. It is my firm belief that I will be an asset for the residents and the volunteers. Thank you very much for your consideration.

The Line of Duty Death Memorial at the Suffolk County Fire Academy in Yaphank was rededicated on Saturday, Oct 29th. It was a bittersweet event because the name of our own member, Ex-Chief Stephen A. Feron, was added. Chiefs Furuno, Crean and Mendola attended this event with members of the Hauppauge Fire Department. Photos provided by Chief Furuno.
