embers of the Mineola Fire Department are mourning the loss of one of their own after a tragic hiking accident took the life of firefighter Andrew Desidero earlier this month. Desidero, who Andrew Desiderio was set to graduate (Photo source: Mineola from Binghamton Fire Department University next Facebook) month with a degree in mechanical engineering, grew up in Williston Park and was also a member of Boy Scout Troop 45 in Mineola. As a Scout, Desidero held many leadership positions including the role of Senior Patrol Leader and in 2016, he attained the rank of Eagle Scout. Scouting led Desidero to a love of camping and outdoor adventures too. In 2015, he and a crew of Scouts traveled through Colorado and hiked through the mountains of New Mexico. From that point on, he vowed to go back west and explore. At 13, he joined the fire department’s junior program, went on to become a full member of the fire department at just 17-years-old.
