Today the department had representatives in Huntsville Alabama inspecting remount of ambulance 639. The ambulance was a 2003 ford and after a full strip of the box and mount on a new chassis it is ready to serve our residents. The company is family owned, and operated….they are meticulous to the point they made sure to preserve the memorial sticker for Detective Diller of the NYPD. Looking forward to seeing this unit in service

Being flexible is a must in today’s volunteer climate…but training to the highest level can never be the compromise you make. This was from our daytime drill this month.

“Under pressure you don’t rise to the occasion, you sink to the level of your training.”

On 4-17-26 at approximately 1915 hours the department was notified for a van fire on merrick road in the vicinity of Algonquin Ave. The Mfd East End was alerted and Engine Company 4 & Ladder Company 6 responded. The van was approached with caution due to the unknown contents of the vehicle. The vehicle was aggressively sparking possibly indicating magnesium in the instrument panel. Ultimately water and purple k were used to extinguish the vehicle. All units were under the command of Chief McCaffrey 6301….Thanks for the photos Kristina Conste
