Mollish Proposal [7-4-14]

On Friday, July 4th, 2014 the Stewart Manor Fire Department hosted its annual 4th of July Parade. The event began shortly after 10:30 a.m. and had apparatus and members present from various departments. The parade ran down Covert Avenue and through side streets of the first battalion based department. Of the departments present one of the last in line was the Franklin Square and Munson Fire Department. Unlike those ahead of them in line the Franklin Square units came to a stop when they approached the intersection of Covert Avenue and Beverly Avenue. It was here that Captain Mike Mollish of Franklin Square Engine 712 would go on to propose to his girlfriend Rita. Members of Mike’s company unveiled a banner with the big question on the side of the rig. The proposal was done before a large crowd comprised of family, friends, and parade goers. The best of luck to Mike and Rita and congratulations! And by the way, she said YES!
