On Sunday May 28th Wading River Fire Department participated in the Run for Briggs 5K Event at EPCAL Park,Calverton by providing a Flag arch at the finish line for participants.

Briggs made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the 106th NYS Air National Guard [Westhampton Beach, New York] unit as a Special Missions Aviator. While deployed on March 15, 2018 Dashan was one of seven men killed when the HH-60 Pave Hawk helicopter they were riding in crashed in western Iraq near the Syrian border.
