The construction of the Mineola Fire Department is progressing and has
reached an important milestone – its topping off ceremony.
The ceremony was held on Wednesday, June 29, 2022. Mayor Paul A. Pereira, Deputy
Mayor Janine Sartori, Trustees Paul Cusato (fireman) and Donna Solosky joined Chief
Andrew Martone and former Mayor and Ex-Chief Scott Strauss, former Trustee
George Durham along with the Mineola Fire Department at the site of the new fire
department’s headquarters. All that attended joined in the signing of the final beam
to be installed.
Mayor Pereira stated, “We are grateful that we have friends and neighbors that are
willing to volunteer and sacrifice for the rest of us. The new headquarters will house
the 135+ year strong Mineola Volunteer Fire Department for the next 135.
Thank you all for your service and may you always return safe.”
The new headquarters replaces the building that stood at the site for nearly
100 years. It will house Company 1 and Company 2 of the Mineola Fire Department. It
is scheduled to be completed and occupied by the end of the year.
