It has come to our attention that the fundraising flyers pictured here have been circulating in nearby neighborhoods. The Commack Fire Department is not associated with “The Volunteer Firefighter Alliance,” and these mailers represent a scam.
The Commack Fire Department sends an annual fund drive letter and two reminder letters in the course of each year, which will specifically reference “The Commack Fire Department.” Please be aware of this and other scams.
Thank you for this information and your service!!!
Thank you very much and for your service
Thank you for info
On Tuesday July 16th, 2024 The Commack Fire Department held Firematic Wake Services for Ex-Chief Joe Gurney who recently passed away. Assisted by The Elmont Fire Department, a flag arch was presented on Commack Road.
Shortly after rigs returned to the firehouse, our dispatcher received an automatic alarm at Manninos on Jericho Turnpike. Shortly after an additional call reported a fire in the basement. Firefighters quickly arrived and after investigating determined it was an air compressor that had let go.
While operating, another call was dispatched for a motor vehicle accident on Commack Road near Vanderbilt Motor Parkway.
With the assistance from Elmont Ladder, our members handled all alarms quickly and professionally!
Thank you Elmont Fire for your help.Also thank you Commack Fire Department for all you do.
Thank you all for all that you do ! God bless and keep you all safe !
RIP Chief.
Thank you for everything you do ❤️
