Residents in the Bellmore and North Bellmore fire districts recently elected the newest members of their boards of fire commissioners.
In spite of stormy weather, voters headed to the polls on Dec. 9 to cast their ballots for one candidate for one open seat on their respective boards. Richard Holzhauer ran unopposed in Bellmore, while former chiefs Robert Bazarewski and Mark Collins faced off for a seat on the North Bellmore board.
Holzhauer was elected to the Bellmore board, receiving 115 votes. The firefighter and emergency medical technician, who has lived in Bellmore for 15 years, is an Air Force veteran and member of the Chamber of Commerce of the Bellmores.
