Hawthorne Fire Department is having a Wet Down!
Join us Sunday, May 17, 12-2 PM - 25 Home St.
Come celebrate as we welcome three new additions to our fleet!
Tower Ladder 12 (E-One)
This powerful new tower ladder replaces our outgoing Ladder 56 and brings modern capabilities to the department. With an impressive 100-foot reach, TL-12 has already been put to work on multiple calls throughout the district. Our members have been putting in dedicated training hours to master its advanced features and ensure we're ready to protect our community from the tallest challenges.
Utility 97 (Polaris Side-by-Side)
Thanks to a New York State grant, we recently acquired this versatile Polaris Side-by-Side (the same grant also funded the new apron in front of our upper apparatus bay). Utility 97 significantly expands our response capabilities, allowing members to quickly access multiple calls on the County trails and in Graham Hills Park—areas that are tough to reach with traditional vehicles.
63-B2 (Ford F-450 Ambulance)
Our 2026 Ford F-450 ambulance is fully equipped for emergency medical service. It features a spacious patient compartment with advanced life-support equipment. Designed for comfort and rapid response, 63-B2 ensures our members can deliver high-quality care to those in need throughout the district.
Join us on May 17 from 12–2 PM to check out the new apparatus, tour the firehouse, and meet the dedicated members of the Hawthorne Fire Department.
We'll have food, entertainment, and plenty of fun for the whole family!
