At a gala event held at Rios Modern Italian Restaurant in Thornwood Saturday evening, the Westchester County Association of Fire Districts honored Katonah Fire Department member Hank Bergson with its Fire Commissioner of the Year Award. A large contingent of KFD members filled three tables at the event to cheer on Hank, a 54-year KFD member (joined in 1972) who has been an instrumental part of the Katonah Fire Department for decades.
Hank is a KFD Ex Chief, Ex President, and has served on Katonah Fire Department's Board of Directors and the Westchester County Fire Advisory Board. As a Commissioner for the Katonah Fire District, Hank has served for 35 years on the board. He became Chairman in 2008 and has served as its Chairman since then.
Hank is the longest serving commissioner since the Katonah Fire District was formed in 1929. Congratulations, Hank, on an impressive achievement and honor!
