Weather Alert  

ELEVATED RISK OF FIRE SPREAD Increasing northwest winds and drying low levels will create conditions more conducive for fire spread today into early this evening. Relative humidity is expected to decrease to near 25 to 30 percent this afternoon into early this evening, while wind gusts increase to 35 to 45 mph. An isolated gust to 50 mph will be possible. These conditions would likely aid fire spread if ignition occurs. Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged, and residents are urged to exercise caution if handling any potential ignition sources, such as machinery, cigarettes, or matches. The annual statewide burn ban is in effect until May 14. No burn permits are issued.

This forecast considers meteorological, fuel, and land conditions and has been developed in coordination with state fire and land management officials.

Port Washington, NY - October 15th, 2013 - Paumanok-Port Washington Lodge No.855 F&AM – Second Nassau District will be honoring Port Washington district fire, ambulance and police officials during its scheduled bi-monthly meeting. The honoring will take place at the Polish American Cultural Association Hall located at 5 Pulaski Place in Port Washington on Tuesday October 22nd at 7:45 p.m.

Jeremy W. Bernstein, Master of Paumanok-Port Washington Lodge No. 855 will be presiding the festivities and has said that it is a way for our local Masonic Lodge to thank these public servants for all they do, day in and day out. The evening will honor the three major public emergency service officers for their timely aid to area residents during the Hurricane Sandy disaster nearly a year ago. These officials leave their loved ones behind to assist our loved ones—it is this selfless act that Freemasonry identifies with locally, nationally and internationally. It is an honor for our brethren as well as all concordant bodies within our fraternity to show our appreciation.

A buffet style dinner of Italian food and drinks during the program will be available to attendees and all Masonic members in the area.
