The president, Bill D’Allesandro, was not in attendance. The vice-president, Danny Peluso opened the meeting. He led a pledge to the flag. He asked Kit to read the minutes of the last meeting - June 25 at the Bellport Fire Department. The minutes were accepted as read. Danny presented the LIEVT chefs’ hats to the Brookhaven members who made our excellent dinner possible. Thirty some members were in attendance.

Danny talked about the EVT testing the members will be taking. He made the members aware of the study material he has and will have to prepare them to take the tests. Many of our members are getting their AC certificates in the mail.

Danny then discussed the training that is planned for this coming season. Two full days in October will be devoted to Waterous Pump. They will bring their roll out pump system. Joe from Westbury has volunteered to host the meeting-the original dates were for Sunday, October 26 and Monday, October 27 but they will be changed to weekdays.

In November there will be an evening NAPA brake class. There will be an ASE prep prior to the brake class.

Danny introduced Damon Lewis, Vice President of Code 3. He was accompanied by Adam Edwards who knew many of our members on Long Island. The presentation became a Q & A on LED lighting and the lighting on fire apparatus. The discussion covered everything from the costs, the brilliance and the blinding qualities of some of the lighting on apparatus. Everyone’s interest and attention were held completely.

A raffle followed with items from Hendrickson, Waterway and the Wantagh Fire Department. Danny presented framed certificates of appreciation to the Board of Commissioners of the Brookhaven Fire Dept, Damon Lewis of Code 3 and Tarren Kearns of Nassau Fire in recognition of the dinner they had provided in the spring.
