Posted

Anthony Lebron has won another five-year term as a fire commissioner for the Uniondale Fire District. He ran uncontested and won 45 votes during the Dec. 10 election. This will be his third term — and second full term — as a commissioner.

“I would like to thank all of those who have supported me throughout the last 12 years as fire commissioner,” he said in a statement to the Herald, “and I look forward to continuing to serve the community and members of the fire department and district for the next five years.”

During his next term as commissioner, Lebron said he plans to focus on adding facilities and gaining funding.

“Some of the things I would like to work on is the building of a training facility here in town, as well as working with our elected officials to continue to help with funding to the fire districts since cost of operations keeps rising,” he said. “I would also like to work with the Uniondale fire department’s chief’s office on training, recruitment and retention for our firefighters.”
