Senate Resolution No. 776
BY: Senator MARTINS
COMMENDING Honorary Chief Anthony Fischetti upon
the occasion of his designation for special
recognition after 50 years of dedicated service to
the New Hyde Park Fire Department
WHEREAS, Citizens across our State and Nation are inspired by and
indebted to our noble firefighters who exhibit courage and bravery every
day in the course of their duties; and
WHEREAS, Firefighters exemplify the power of human compassion and
the strength of the American spirit through actions of the most heroic
magnitude; their sacrifices and their selfless dedication merit tribute
and recognition by all citizens of this great country; and
WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to commend Honorary
Chief Anthony Fischetti upon the occasion of his designation for special
recognition after 50 years of dedicated service to the New Hyde Park
Fire Department to be celebrated at the 115th Annual
Installation-Inspection Dinner on Saturday, May 10, 2025, at the
Crescent Beach Club in Bayville, New York; and
WHEREAS, Anthony Fischetti has consistently demonstrated a level of
commitment, dedication, integrity and professionalism which truly
exemplifies excellence in fire service; and
WHEREAS, In January 1975, Anthony Fischetti was appointed membership
to the New Hyde Park Fire Department, and is an active member of
Enterprise Engine Company 1, currently serving as captain; and
WHEREAS, Firefighters unwaveringly serve our great State with pride,
valor, and integrity; these respected heroes are often the first to
respond to an emergency, whether the emergency is a fire, transportation
accident, natural disaster, act of terrorism, medical crisis, or spill
of hazardous materials; and
WHEREAS, It takes a special dedication, a strong desire to help
others and a tireless sense of community to forsake precious time with
family and friends to respond to the signal that a neighbor is in need;
Anthony Fischetti is such a firefighter; throughout 50 years of devoted
service, this firefighter heroically performed, above and beyond the
call of duty, those responsibilities which define the task of fire
protection; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commend Honorary Chief Anthony Fischetti upon the occasion of his
designation for special recognition after 50 years of dedicated service
to the New Hyde Park Fire Department; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Honorary Chief Anthony Fischetti.
