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!!

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.

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.

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!

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.
