Hometown Hero: EMT Continues To Help Others After Battling COVID

WEST BABYLON, NY — When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented times. Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these everyday heroes.

Janet N. nominated her son, Danny Bonge, a volunteer EMT for the FDNY, the North Amityviile Fire Department and the West Babylon Fire Department.

Here's what Janet had to say about her son:

Danny has been working countless hours as an EMT since the pandemic has started. He became ill and tested positive for Covid 19. He has since recovered and is back in action full force. He spends almost all of his time working to help others during this. For a young man, I am very proud of his selflessness.

Thank you for all that you do, Danny Bonge!
