In the middle of an emergency one worries. Thinking about insurance may press on the brain, but…read moreobtaining care is the priority. Thankfully my Dad is much improved from Saturday. His primary care doctor looked at him and said, "ER." Imagine my surprise ringing the Smithtown Fire Department just now. "What are you talking about? We are a volunteer organization. You'll never be billed." (He had to ask me three times why I was calling. Hoping to get ahead of the curve I wanted to share Dad's insurance information.) I just dropped a thank you card (+donation) in the mail. The EMTs arrived within minutes, our ride was smooth and the handoff to the ER effortless. Here's my social post about how awesome our #longisland #smithtown #firedepartment #volunteers are. Thank you. #newyork #townofsmithtown #medicine #EMT #emergency #hospital

Ok not a business in the general sense of the word, but who would want to live without them? Im…read moregoing to come right out and say I have family and friends in the department so my viewpoint might be a bit skewed. This department is made up of volunteers who go through some very rigorous training. Which means someone is leaving thier nice _______(family dinner,cozy bed, kids ball game- you get it) to save your _________(house, loved one, car or butt). This department also provides fire safety instruction and information to the residents of the district. With a fire prevention & safety officer that goes into the schools, local businesses, church and civic groups all year long giving classes. When he comes he gives away printed material and fire helmets, and brings equipment and most times a fire engine to explore. They also have a Fire Prevention Day (date changes but is usually around the National FPday in October) that invites the community to the main firehouse for an afternoon of fun and learning with fire truck rides (you know you want to) real firehose handling, information tables, hands on demonstrations (think fire extinguishers) and actual BURNING OF STUFF (cars & mock rooms). Last bit- if the shit hits the fan or some drunk rams a car or the smoke alarm started shrieking at 2am I am so very glad that Ken or Doug or his wife Rachel or Chris or John or Peter or George or Margaret or her husband Roy or Leslie or Richie or the whole bunch of others are ready and able to come running in when everyone else is running out.

The building where my mother lives had an issue for over 8 days making her life unbearable and the City Housing Authority did not respond or even returned calls. My mother is an elderly woman needing assistance and no response from Housing is disturbing. One of the Captains from this Fire House took the time to talk to me about the concern, although there was nothing he and or his Firefighters could have done without causing undue hardship to the other tenants, he took the time to listen and make useful suggestions. The men and women of FDNY should be commended for their professionalism and their genuine care for the community they serve. I regret not getting the name of the Captain, but I want to acknowledge him and his House for all they do everyday!

Thankful Thursday 11/24/22 The New York City Fire…read moreDepartment, officially the Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY), is an American department of the government of New York City that provides fire protection, technical rescue services, primary response to biological, chemical, and radioactive hazards, and emergency medical services responses to the five boroughs of New York City. The New York City Fire Department is the largest Municipal Fire Department in the United States. In fact it's one of the largest on the planet! I'm continuously amazed at the huge responsibilities that they have twenty four hours a day, three hundred and sixty five days a year. It's my opinion that FDNY needs more resources considering our aging buildings. There's a lot of Fire Education needed for the general public. They are serving around 8 million NYC residents. People move in and out of the city. I let them know how much I appreciate their service every time I see them. I'm posting this review on Thanksgiving 2022 to once again say THANK YOU! I'm recommending you New Yorker's do the same!

Much better and more modern facilities than the Old York Town Police Department…read more The New York City Fire Department are pretty wonderful in many ways (except maybe on Law & Order when they get into fights with the cops due to shady goings on), and a lot more friendly than some of the other New York officials you might encounter. They've done a lot of Brave things over the years, not least on 9/11. It's too sad to talk about that, to be honest. I still don't think we have a clue who or what was behind that and I hope that someday everyone behind it will be brought to justice so all these brave people can have a little more peace, perhaps. This is a great house for a great crew, and everyone in the city should be thankful that they do what they do so well.
