The Bridgehampton Fire Department held our annual inspection dinner recently, where we gathered together to reflect on the past year and honor members for service. At the very top of that list was Ex-Chief Fred Wilford, recognized for a staggering 60 years of service.
He joined the dPackard Company in 1964, following in the footsteps of his father, Jimmy Wilford, who happens to have served for 60 years, too. “I didn’t want him to beat me,” Ex-Chief Wilford says with a laugh, assuring us he has no intention of retiring from the fire service anytime soon, “as long as I continue to be able to do what I can do.”
Except for four years in the Navy, he has lived in Sagaponack his entire life and is a retired LILCO foreman.
Elected department chief in 1985 and 1986, Wilford has also served the community in several other longstanding ways. For 36 years, he sat on the Sagaponack School Board, before stepping down in 2014. He was on the Bridgehampton Board of Fire Commissioners for 30 years, from which he retired in 2020. Along with Clifford Foster, they are the only two to have served three decades.
Thank you for your dedication, Ex-Chief Wilford! And cheers to many more years of service!
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Bridgehampton Fire District allowed us to display pink banners on the front of our headquarters. Thank you to EMS Company member Elias Sandoval of E.M. Quality Home Construction for making the frames for the banners and getting them
hung in honor of all those who have battled breast cancer.
See photo gallery Around the Department for the full view!
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, our EMS personnel are donning some pink regalia in October. Our shirts, pink gloves and pink surgical masks are to honor those who have fought breast cancer. Our Bridgehampton EMS company counts two survivors among us, and remembers those we’ve lost, including a former captain. As you see our crews out-and-about, we also hope it serves as a reminder for women (and men!) to conduct self-checks often and to get mammograms and genetic testing when recommended!
We will never forget.
