I wanted to applaud the Southampton Village Board and mayor for funding the purchase of a new modern fire truck at the Thursday, February 13, board meeting. This is the perfect example of the phrase “less is more,” as the new truck is smaller, more nimble, more viable on flag lots and, accordingly, also more economical, at a price tag of below $515,000.

Moreover, I also wanted to thank and applaud all members of the Southampton Fire Department, as well as Chief Anthony Stevens, 1st Assistant Chief Alfred Callahan III and 2nd Assistant Chief Emmanuel Escobar.

The entire fire department displays exemplary volunteerism and service to our community without compensation, other than the satisfaction of service.

Thank you to all.
