2026 Lt. Joseph DiBenardo "Joey D" Training Seminar

This past weekend, members of the Cutchogue Fire Department participated in the annual Lt. Joseph P. DiBernardo “ Joey D.” Memorial Foundation annual training conference hosted at the Suffolk County Fire Academy.

Now in its 14th year, the training brings instructors and students from across the nation together for three full days of hands on and classroom instruction on a wide array of fire and rescue topics.

CFD’s ladder truck participated and provide support for the ladder operations course held on Friday and Saturday.

On January 23, 2005, the FDNY experienced one of its darkest days, forever remembered as “Black Sunday.” This program honors the firefighters who tragically lost their lives that day, including Lieutenant Joseph “Joey D” DiBernardo, who later passed away from injuries sustained during the incident.

CFD is proud have supported and be a part of this great weekend of training.
