Amityville Fire Department

The first fire company in Amityville – Hook and Ladder Co. No. 1 – was established in 1886, and several companies followed. Early volunteer firefighting companies responded to calls beyond the Village of Amityville, to present Copiague and Massapequa, as well. In 1905, all of the volunteer companies were organized under one village department – the Amityville Volunteer Fire Department.
