WHITE PLAINS - Five new firefighters were sworn-in by Public Safety Commissioner Frank Straub this morning.

The brief ceremony at Public Safety Headquarters was attended by Mayor Joseph Delfino, Common Council President Rita Malmud and council members Thomas Roach and Glen Hockley.

Taking the oath of office were Christopher Abrahamsen, Shawn Jimison, James New, Michael Palmerini and John Patone.

The five are scheduled to begin a 14-week basic firefighting course at the Westchester County Fire Training Center on Monday. Their addition brings the strength of the city's fire department to 164, leaving just five authorized positions unfilled.
