Fourth Battalion presents local scholarships

The Fourth Battalion Fire District recently presented its first Fourth Battalion College Scholarship to firefighter members or children of firefighters in the battalion who are graduating seniors or already attending college or graduate school.

The first winners are Brendan O’Reilly of Lynbrook, Kaitlyn Mohr of Rockville Centre, Christian Morgan of Malverne, and Chloe Moskowitz of Lynbrook. Each received $250. The battalion plans to make this award annually.

“In a small way, the battalion wants to give back and support the firefighters and their families with college expenses,” said Battalion Chairman Murray.
