I visited Fire Island Pines to personally thank the members of the Fire Island Pines Fire Department and all of the neighboring departments who responded to the devastating fire on Ocean Walk. Thanks to their quick response and incredible teamwork, no injuries were reported and the fire was prevented from spreading further. Thank you to our volunteer firefighters and first responders for always answering the call and protecting our Fire Island communities.

🇺🇸 Twenty-five years later, we remember. 🇺🇸
Today, communities across Long Island gather to honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the first responders, families and countless others forever changed by that day.
A quarter-century has passed, but our promise remains the same: to honor their lives, preserve their stories and never forget.

I’ve known Brendan Grogan since we were kids, so it was especially meaningful to recognize him today for an incredible act of compassion and courage.
Brendan’s patience, calm demeanor and dedication helped save a life on the Robert Moses Bridge. In a moment when someone needed help most, he was there.
Proud to call Brendan a lifelong friend and proud to recognize his outstanding service to our community. Well deserved, my friend!

I am forever grateful to the incredible doctors, nurses and staff at South Shore University Hospital who gave me a second chance at life!

My message is simple: don't wait. Listen to your body, get your routine checkups and make your health a priority. I'm here today because of an extraordinary team of lifesavers - and I can never thank them enough!

"I watched him die in front of us,” said Alyssa Lorenzana, an emergency medicine physician at South Shore University Hospital, referring to Brookhaven Town Deputy Supervisor Neil Foley.

Even after coding three times, Neil was miraculously brought back from death's door thanks to the extraordinary team at South Shore. He received three stents and is now enjoying his second chance at life.

As part of our "Thank a Lifesaver" event, Neil returned to South Shore to thank his heroes and spread the word about the critical importance of listening to your body.

As we celebrate America’s 250th Fourth of July, I hope everyone has the chance to spend time with family, friends, and neighbors, and appreciate the freedoms we often take for granted. Whether you’re heading to a parade, the beach, a backyard barbecue, or just relaxing at home, I wish you a safe, happy, and memorable Fourth of July.
Happy Birthday, America! 🇺🇸
