PHOENICIA – Governor Hochul has directed flags on state government buildings to be flown at half-staff Friday and Saturday in honor of Phoenicia Fire Commissioner and firefighters Michael Ryan who collapsed and died while on a rescue call in the forest last Saturday, December 13.

His unwavering dedication to service will not be forgotten.”
