Councilwoman Holds Fundraiser For N. Massapequa FD After Fire

Oyster Bay Town Councilwoman Laura Maier recently hosted a fundraiser for the North Massapequa Fire Department at Dairy Queen she runs in Massapequa.

On Christmas morning, members of the North Massapequa Fire Department were awakened to a fire in their own headquarters, which ultimately devastated it, destroying four pieces of fire equipment, substantially damaging the truck bay and resulting in smoke and water damage to the entire building.

As part of the fundraiser held at Maier's restaurant, 25 percent of the proceeds for the day were donated towards supporting the department's recovery after the fire, to help them rebuild so they can continue serving the community.

Maier was joined by countless residents who came out to support the cause throughout the day, including members of the North Massapequa Fire Department, Town Councilman Steve Labriola, Town Councilman Tom Hand, Town Councilwoman Vicki Walsh, Receiver of Taxes Jeffrey Pravato and Village of Massapequa Park Trustee Daniel Pearl.
