Nassau County Executive Laura Curran today recognized Nassau County Fire Marshal Joseph Battaglia and his K-9 team partner Pilot for their deployment as part of the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco & Firearms (ATF) National Response Team to the site of 8-alarm fire disaster in Elmwood Park, New Jersey two weeks ago. News 12 NJ recently featured FM Battaglia and Pilot in a segment about the team on the ground determining the cause of the fire. “Our Fire Marshals train hard and make personal sacrifices so that they can respond to danger when it confronts others,” said County Executive Curran. “I am grateful and proud that Fire Marshal Battaglia and Pilot step up not just for their own communities, but for also for others when they are in need.”
