Members of the Long Beach Fire Department were honored Sunday for their heroism.

Sen. Todd Kaminsky held a ceremony to honor the bravery and teamwork of 15 firefighters who rescued a man from an East Atlantic Beach wreck.

Gaetano Antonacci, of Lindenhurst, overturned his vehicle in East Atlantic Beach on Feb. 15.

The firefighters worked quickly to extricate Antonacci and his passengers from the vehicle.

Antonacci is grateful he was able to get out safely and without a scratch on his body.
