Today members of The Woodmere Fire Department and family members of the Bowker and Redash families gathered for a memorial service to remember the line of duty death of Ex First Assistant Chief John Bowker. John Bowker gave his life for his community on March 17, 1973 at a building fire on Broadway in Woodmere. A few members spoke about how great a man John Bowker was and described him as courageous, giving, and kind. We will never forget the sacrifice he made.
This post takes me back. It's amazing how much I've forgotten over the years. He was a good man, what I remember of him. Peace to your family.

Reports indicate more bad weather is headed our way. Keep up to date with the changing weather conditions and stay safe.NOR'EASTER PART 3...
Our 3rd nor'easter in two weeks is on the way for Monday night! Too early for a snowfall map, but expect significant impacts for the Tuesday morning commute. (As always any forecast change will change the expected impacts as well)
Since the worst of the storm is expected Monday night into Tuesday morning, it will likely be cold enough for a mostly snow event across Long Island with minimal mixing.
The good news? Some warmer temperatures arrive by next weekend!
Get all the details on this forecast at: longisland.news12.com/weather
Don't forget to change the batteries in your smoke and CO detectors and to change your clocks to 'Spring Forward' one hour this weekend.
While you are at it, take some time to review your family emergency plan as well.This weekend marks a great time to remember to change your smoke alarm batteries. Always follow manufacturer instructions though (some alarms don't require battery changes at all) & replace batteries sooner than clock change weekend if the alarm chirps signaling a dead battery. www.nfpa.org/smokealarms
Important. Stay safe.Do you have a commute home tonight? Expect difficult travel conditions as snow and rain hits later today and this evening. Please make sure to clear all snow and ice from your car, make sure your wipers are working, and most important: don’t forget to drive carefully! Don’t be in a rush – it puts yourself and other drivers in danger.
The Winter Storm Warning is in effect for Nassau County until 4am tomorrow.
Stay safe, everyone!
