Different locations, activities, volunteer services etc. For this event past Saturday, it looked to me to be pretty well run. So A 3 or 4 star applies. I had not heard or seen information about the activities done at the West John Location. I happed to go to the post office near by, along with meeting a neighbor. So we walked over half hour before 3PM when tit ended. Their trucks had good and important info on them. Their hand outs did also. ( see pix) Items like have escape routes, review/practice with family, if clothing' catches fire, stop drop and roll. All good points. As for the drama- they lite a wood box on fire up close/ do not cross this line- with fire department personnel in full garb and ready to use hoses to put it out. Everyone could see and feel the heat from the flames and then see and smell the smoke when they extinguished it. They did have some of the guys as crossing guards and that was helpful too. What I felt was missing? Nothing about pets. And maybe they had covered it as we were in on the - tail end of it. As many suburbanites have pets, also seeing the reaction of my own dog backing away from the fire area. I felt a demo and window pet stickers /save my dog- could have been a good added addition. ( something I noticed amiss even at memorial (- 911 ) services honoring All who serve and serve still today. This said as I mentioned it was a good event.

I ran outside to see it was one truck going in & out of the blocks throwing popcorn ball treats to everyone in the neighborhood!! Talk about a sense of pride in my community! Everyone was coming out of their houses to wave to & thank the fire department for their devoted & tireless efforts in keeping the residents of Hicksville safe! The truck was decorated with big candy canes & many volunteer fire fighters adorned the truck waving! They even had a fire fighter dress up as Santa Claus! I'm so humbled & impressed that I just witnessed this act of community, kindness, support, devotion & holiday spirit!! Yay Hicksville!!

It has been more than two years since we previously were able to get together. I used Yelp to find a good place to grab my breakfast close to her Assisted Living facility, and this came up. The food was fine .. but what really stood out for me was their truly outstanding service. I told them that I wanted to bring an assortment of bagels back to California with my on July 4 .. including some varieties that are less popular. They did it all . making extras of the ones I wanted, and wrapping each bagel separately, so that they would stay fresh on the long trip home. I pretty much spent the whole day in airports, and when I finally reached Reno at about 10 PM, I hopped in my car for the two hour drive over the Sierras. The bagels arrived tasting like they had just emerged from the oven. Prices are very fair, and I also enjoyed some very good coffee with my breakfasts. Everyone there is friendly and kind .. and when I return to East Meadow, I will be back! Please support this great local business.

We had them come back at the end of the season, so that we could have it professionally done, they came on time, did a very clean job, and even suggested waiting two years for the next cleaning, instead of each year. We are overly cautious and will have them back annually, as we use our fireplace a lot. Awesome folks to have in your home, keeping you safe.
