Assemblyman Doug Smith (5^th Assembly District) attended the Lakeland Fire Department’s annual installation dinner over the weekend.

“It was fantastic to be a part of this great event recognizing the selflessness, service and sacrifice made by our great Lakeland Fire Department,” Smith said. “In the midst of an opioid epidemic, we need our first responders to be strong now more than ever- and I am so grateful that this department stands ready to respond to any emergency that arises in our community. I also want to thank outgoing department Chief Rich Mancuso for his years of service and dedication to his department and our safety.”
