New Website Close to Launch

We are happy to report that the new Smithtown Fire Department website should be up and running over the next few weeks. As you may have noticed our content has not been updated as frequently as in the past. This is due to the need to start the process of migrating existing content to the new site.

 

When the rebuilt site is online the Department will once again provide daily updates with a new dynamic front page news management system and an outstanding photo album program. There will also be password protected content, calendars and announcements for members of the Smithtown Fire Department to access.

Pick-Up Truck Fire

A Signal 14 (vehicle fire) was toned out on Saturday, February 07 at 13:15 (1:15pm) located in the Hess Station at Routes 111 and 347 in Smithtown.

A pick-up truck had just left the pump area after filling up when the driver realized that the vehicle was on fire.  He was able to ease the truck to a parking area away from the pumps and evacuate the vehicle.

Responding to the call were Chief of Department Thomas Duckham and First Assistant Chief Charles Duffy.  Apparatus on scene were Engines 4-2-1, 4-2-4 and 4-2-5. Also at the scene was Rescue 4-2-9.

A 1 ¾” line was quickly stretched from 4-2-1 and total suppression of the fire was completed within five minutes.

All units were up at 14:04 (2:04pm).
