LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION commending outgoing Chief Vincenzo Vacchiano for
his distinguished service to the West Babylon Fire Department

WHEREAS, The firefighters of New York State are renowned throughout the
Nation; their reputation is synonymous with excellence in the arduous
field of fire protection and prevention; and
WHEREAS, Since the early days of "teapot steamers," the volunteer
firefighter has been the cornerstone of our great Nation's efforts to
spare us from the ravages of fire; and
WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is proud to commend outgoing Chief
Vincenzo Vacchiano for his distinguished service to the West Babylon
Fire Department; he will be honored at its 63rd Annual Installation
Dinner Dance to be held at the Hyatt Regency Wind Watch in Hauppauge,
New York, on Saturday, March 20, 2010; and
WHEREAS, Vincenzo Vacchiano is a 20-year member of the West Babylon
Fire Department; he served Beaver Engine Company 2 as a Lieutenant and
as a Captain and then rose through the ranks of the Department, serving
ably as Assistant Chief, 2002-2008, and as Chief of Department,
2008-2010; and
WHEREAS, Volunteer firefighters and fire departments not only provide
the critical service of fire protection but also engage in other activ-
ities of great benefit and importance to the communities they serve; 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; Vincen-
zo Vacchiano is such a firefighter; throughout his 20 years of devoted
service, he has 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 Vincenzo Vacchiano for his years of distinguished service as a
member and Chief of the West Babylon Fire Department; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to Vincenzo Vacchiano.
