2nd Battalion struts its stuff

Posted

The Nassau County 2nd Battalion Fire Department Parade rolled down the streets of Oceanside this month bringing music, pomp and patriotism. The Battalion, which includes the Baldwin Fire Department, also hosted a community block party after the Aug. 8 event. The parade and block party featured live music, and food, beverages and T-shirts were for sale. Besides Baldwin and Oceanside the 2nd Battalion consists of five more Nassau County fire departments: Freeport, Island Park, Long Beach, Point Lookout, Lido Beach and Atlantic Beach Rescue. The parade recognizes the department’s volunteer first responders and acknowledges their commitment to their respective Nassau County communities.
