Fishers Island Fire District Hosts 2024 Installation Dinner

Following years of tradition, the Fishers Island Fire District commissioners hosted the Installation Dinner for the Fire Department members and their guests at the Firehouse on Saturday, January 20. 

The ‘barn’ was staged for the opening reception and the swearing-in of the 2024 elected department officers – the perfect venue for the event. 

The commissioners recognized Bob Rogers for his 20-year anniversary as a volunteer firefighter with the department. 

Special thanks go to Bill Bloethe and his crew for the delicious hors d’oeuvres, dinner, and special dessert, and to District Manager Porfirio ‘Rod’ Rodriguez for making the arrangements for a lovely and celebratory evening.
