Tuesday Morning at approximately 1018 the Medford Fire Department responded to a motor vehicle accident at the intersection of Old Medford Avenue and the South Service road of the Long Island Expressway. The incident involved a heavy duty tow truck and a pickup truck. The strength of the impact caused both saddle tanks on the big rig to rupture, spilling approximately 80 Gallons of diesel across the roadway and adjoining yard. - With the assistance of the Town of Brookhaven ...Fire Marshals Office, Department of Environmental Conservation Spill Response Team, along with the SCPD Emergency Service Unit the environmental impact was mitigated swiftly. - The incident is under investigation by the Suffolk County Police Dept.

We join our brothers and sisters in blue in mourning the tragic loss of NYPD Officer Anastasios Tsakos, assigned to Highway 3. He was a 14-year veteran of the NYPD and a dad of two young children, a 6-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

That concludes our recruitment day. Thank you to the volunteers who took time out of their day for this event. Also special thanks to Vice President of FASNY Eugine Perry for stopping by.

Here is a video with Chief Barry, Lieutenant Thomas Donofrio and firefighter Cole working on the two minute drill. This is a basic drill to ensure the efficiency of donning your personal protective equipment (or PPE) when responding.

If you stop by and meet our volunteers, you’ll see that they all come from different backgrounds. It does not matter if you work nights, days, in an office or with your hands or even a student. A volunteer can be anyone. Inquire today!

Merry Christmas to all! Have a safe and joyous holiday.

Hello all! As a result of the blizzard preventing our first day of the Santa Run, we have added tonight. Starting at 6pm we will be going around the areas that we have not touched yet. Please be kind. These are volunteers giving up nights of their holiday season to serve you. Merry Christmas!

Please note some of the following tips to stay safe this holiday season.

Hello all! Due to the weather we will no longer have members waiting by tree sales. So far we have 19 left.

Despite the circumstances we have had a successful fundraiser. Merry Christmas!

Santa is hitting the streets! Keep an ear out!

Many of you have reached out asking if we are collecting toys and the answer is yes! Please bring your new and unwrapped toys. All donations are appreciated.

Although Santa is accustomed to this weather, the roads are a bit hazardous for our volunteers. That being said, we will be resuming the Santa run tomorrow. Please stay home, safe and warm. Don’t travel if you don’t have to. See you all tomorrow!

Christmas tree sales have resumed, It’s a beautiful day come out and pick out a beautiful Christmas tree.

Hello all! Today is the day! Santa will be riding around on the fire truck today, tomorrow and Friday. Here are a few things to keep in mind. - There is no particular schedule. Please listen for the sirens as your indicator that he is nearby. - There will be no candy canes this year and we ask that everyone remains socially distant. ... - Be kind. Santa works with local volunteers who take time each night to show him around town. Should you miss him, please be understanding. Thank you and see you later!
