| Bedford Fire Department held its annual Inspection Dinner on Friday, October 22, 2010. The dinner was the end point of the week long cleaning of both the firehouse and apparatus. Each truck was cleaned by the foreman and their crews so perfectly that Chief Aquilino said it was the closest competition in quite some time. The best apparatus award ended up going to the Mini Attack 7, and its foreman Aric Bittker, as well as it's determined crew; the entire BFD Jr. Corps.
The dinner was held at the Kittle House in Mt. Kisco, NY, and many neighboring departments sent representatives to show their support for Bedford Fire. Officers from BFD recognized long term members, including two 60+ year members, Ernie Henker and Joseph Progreski. The award for Firefighter of the year went to Eileen Sacharewitz; EMT of the Year was awarded to Heather Feldman; Rookie of the Year was William Keiser; Ex-Chief of the Year was given to Joseph Iantorno, and the Jr. Corp Member of the year went to Thomas Farrell. The dinner was made possible by the Bedford Village Board of Fire Commissioners, especially John Clark, the Inspection Dinner Chairman. |
