Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano this week honored East Rockaway First Assistant Fire Chief James Henshaw, who responded to a patient in full cardiac arrest and applied a defibrillator. Thanks to Henshaw's heroic actions, the patient made a full recovery.
Joining the county executive and sponsoring the award ceremony was Richard Smythe, Vice President of JetBlue, who generously provided a round trip airline ticket in recognition of Fire Assistant Chief Henshaw’s actions.
Also in attendance were Chief Fire Marshal Scott D. Tusa, Fire Commissioner Rick Gardner, Nassau County Comptroller George Maragos and members of the East Rockaway Fire Department.
