December 7, 2023 - It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Union Fire Company Life member Mike Laberta. Mike was a 29 year active member of the fire company and served as EMS Captain, Fire Lieutenant and EMS Lieutenant. He was an avid participant in fire prevention and community outreach details. Mike obtained and maintained his NYS EMT for almost his entire time in the fire service. Something he was very proud of. Mike’s dedication to our fire company, the fire service, and his community never wavered. Mike loved helping others in need. He was a fixture at our firehouse coffee pot and was always up for a lively discussion no matter what time of day or night. We will miss our long chats with Mike, his chauffeuring us to calls, and his dedication to the fire service. Rest in peace brother. We will take it from here.
