South Salem Fire Department

South Salem Fire Department 100% volunteer since 1938. Protecting the Lewisboro hamlets of Cross River, Waccabuc and South Salem

For 75 years now, the members of the South Salem FD have been serving their district in Lewisboro in many ways. Most obvious, protecting those when needed against fire, car accidents, and other various tasks. But prevention is the first method of fighting, so the members are also dedicated to educating the town, from toddlers to seniors, on fire prevention in all aspects of your life. The departme

nt knows how to have a good time as well though, having monthly members breakfasts, a family picnic, and of course the annual parade and carnival. If you have any interest in joining, please stop by the firehouse on any Monday evening between 7:30 and 9:00PM, or email [email protected]. Great way to give back to your own community, meet some great people, and have a good time.

The Department wishes to acknowledge the courageous efforts by all first responders at this week’s house fire in Cross River. Our thoughts remain with both the affected family as well as the police officer who remains hospitalized following a flashover condition. Thank you to all the support from our local businesses, residents and neighboring Departments over the past couple days as our community deals with this tragedy.
