Welcome
Mount Sinai Fire Department in Suffolk County Long Island was formed in the fall of 1930 after a house burned to the ground because the nearest fire department from a neighboring town took twenty minutes to get there. The residents got together after a Civic Association meeting, October 25th, 1930, for the purpose of forming a fire department. They voted for it that evening and there it began. They held fund raising events such as spaghetti dinners and Square dances and eventually purchased the first fire truck.
