About the Company

Rooted in Wyandanch, built on service.

Founded in 1925 at a meeting of the Wyandanch Athletic Club, the Wyandanch Volunteer Fire Company brought organized fire protection to the northern part of the Town of Babylon for the first time. From a single Model T fire truck to a modern multi-station fleet, our mission has never changed: protect lives and property through rapid response, training, and prevention.

Today our volunteer firefighters serve alongside the Wyandanch-Wheatley Heights Ambulance Corp to keep the community safe around the clock.

Rapid response to residential, commercial, and roadway fires with modern apparatus and well-trained crews.

Rescue Operations

Our History

A century of answering the call.

Nearly 100 years of volunteers, milestones, and apparatus — built one call at a time.

1925
A company is born
Founded at a meeting of the Wyandanch Athletic Club. Edward Mason — “the George Washington of the fire company” — served as first President for 34 years. The company began with 25 charter members and a used Model T Ford fire truck.
1928
Officially chartered
Incorporated by the State of New York, formalizing fire protection for the northern part of the Town of Babylon as Fire Protection District Thirteen.
1929
First firehouse
The company's first firehouse opened on Straight Path at South 17th Street, giving Wyandanch a permanent home for its growing volunteer force.
1955
Modern apparatus
Following Mack apparatus acquired during the war years, the company purchased a Diamond T pumper equipped with a high-pressure fog system.
1959
Headquarters station
A new firehouse was built adjacent to the original location on Straight Path — still the company's main station today at 1528 Straight Path.
1964
A second station
A second firehouse opened on Main Avenue between North 21st and North 22nd Streets, expanding rapid-response coverage across the community.
