Southampton Fire Department Open House and Recruitment Drive
Sunday April 19, 2026 11am-3pm 470 Hampton Road, southampton NY 11968 As part of the annual RecruitNY statewide initiative, the Southampton fire department will open its doors so residents can learn how they can serve their volunteer fire department. Volunteer fire departments across New York state have been facedwith decreased membership and increased call volume. Like most volunteer fire departments, the Southampton fire department needs to bolster its ranks so it can continue to provide the optimum level of protection for its residents. As part of RecruitNY Weekend, the Southampton FD will open its doors on April 19 from 11am to 3pm. The department is located at 470 Hampton Rd, Southampton, NY 11968. It will join hundreds of volunteer fire departments across New York to raise public awareness regarding the need for volunteers and to highlight the rewards of being a member of a volunteer fire department. Throughout the day, the Southampton FD will conduct tours of the station and apparatus, allow visitors to try on gear, demonstrate firefighting activities, provide information, and address questions on becoming a member. These activities give visitors a taste of what it means to be in the fire service. Volunteer firefighters will also be on hand to discuss the requirements and rewards of joining. All are welcome and encouraged to attend, including families with children. “We welcome the community to join us during Recruit NY Weekend,” said Polis Walker – Chief Engineer “This is an excellent opportunity for people to meet their local volunteer firefighters and learn more about the fire service. We are always looking for new members, and it is our hope that after meeting us, more people will be interested in becoming part of our family.” |
