Mike has the experience as having served in the position before for 10 years, is an active member of the Hicksville Fire Department for over 30 years and is an active member in local, county and state committees concerning fire safety and protection legislation and laws. He is a certified New York State building and fire code enforcement officer and has been certified as a hazardous materials technician, specialist and is in management. During these uncertain times, these are important credits. A lifetime resident of Hicksville, he is concerned and wanted to work for the safety and protection of the residents.

As a former fire commissioner for the Hicksville Fire District, I know what is required for the job and what it takes to do the job. Michael has what it takes for the job.

He has served on a number of committees and has a number of certificates and training credentials.

Michael and I have on a number of occasions gone to Albany and worked on procedures to pass laws and legislation. Important legislative matters to improve the safety and protection of the firefighters and the general public. He is a lifetime resident of Hicksville and has over 20 years experience in banking and finance which he will lend to the business side of the district. In his current position as a fire inspector with the Nassau County Fire Marshal's Office, Krummenacker will have an important input to the many current events in our changing society. I not only speak for myself, but for the overwhelming number of concerned and active firefighters in Hicksville. Mike is the choice of the firefighters, for the firefighters.
