The New York State Legislature has passed a bill that would quadruple the tax credit for volunteer firefighters across the state.

This legislation supports 80,000 volunteers who dedicate their time and energy to protecting their communities.

Now we need your help. The bill is currently awaiting action by the Governor – let’s encourage her to sign it into law promptly.

Act today through FASNY’s VoterVoice and contact the Governor.

55% of all bicyclist fatalities happen between 3 p.m. and midnight. ⚠️🚲

As daylight hours shorten this fall, visibility and awareness become even more important:

🚗 Look twice at intersections and before turning right on red.
🚗 Slow down in high-pedestrian and cycling corridors.

🚴 Wear hi-vis gear after dark.
🚴 Follow the rules of the road.

We ALL share the responsibility for getting home SAFE.

Suffolk County Fire, Rescue, and Emergency Services wants to remind everyone about New York State's Move Over Law.

The law requires drivers to move over one lane, when possible, and slow down when approaching flashing lights, construction vehicles, emergency vehicles, or a disabled vehicle on the side of the road.

Moving over and slowing down helps protect drivers, pedestrians, construction workers, first responders, and everyone working alongside our roadways.

Don't risk a life or a ticket. Move over, slow down, and help keep Suffolk County safe.

Suffolk County Fire Rescue and Emergency Services just wants to remind everyone of New York State's Move Over law.

The law says that for police cars, ambulances, tow trucks, construction, fire trucks, other EMS and emergency vehicles, and disabled vehicles on the side of the road, you must move over a lane or slow down. This helps protect anyone who works along our roadways as well as drivers. Whether they are flashing lights behind you or pulled over to the side at work, you must move over for them and/or slow down.

Help keep our roads safe.
