Fire Department
Our Fire Department would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year and a safe and healthy 2025. I would like to thank our Volunteer Fire Department who were Santa’s Elves this holiday season, when Santa made his way down the streets of Floral Park to visit the children before Christmas Day. They drove down the block and made many stops to say hello to the many kids outlining the streets. It was a festive event enjoyed by many in our Village. Thank you once again to our Volunteers for being such vital members of our community.
For the month of December, the Fire Company responded to 48 calls, the Rescue Company responded to 14 ambulance calls and 6 fire calls, NYU Langone responded to 95 calls, for a total number of 143 calls for December.
