Honoring outgoing Chief Thomas Farina upon the occasion of his designation for special recognition after 17 years of dedicated service to the New Hyde Park Fire Department

This Senate Resolution honors Thomas Farina, the outgoing Chief of the New Hyde Park Fire Department, for his 17 years of volunteer service. The measure formally recognizes his career progression from a member in 2009 to his leadership roles as Deputy Chief and Chief until December 2025. It directs the state legislature to pause its proceedings to acknowledge Farina and mandates that a copy of the resolution be sent to him. The document does not alter laws or funding but serves as a ceremonial tribute to his contributions to the fire department.
