About 14 members attended an impromptu test of using Zoom to connect and meet during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since most firehouses have implemented a closed door policy to ensure the safety of firefighters and since NY government recommendations against large gatherings make getting together in person not feasible the LIEVT board decided to test out using Zoom to collaborate online. The test went well, it was good to see everyone that managed to attend and we planned to set up a more formal meeting using this method in the near future. A full list of attendees was compiled by Kit and will be added to this post as time allows.

LIEVT had the regular meeting at the Seaford Fire Department on February 20, 2020. More than forty regular members and new members enjoyed an excellent dinner and dessert. The president, John Manetta, opened the meeting with a pledge to the flag and a moment of silence for our departed members and our troops overseas.
