The West Hempstead Fire Department was organized in 1919 when members of the community formed the Victory Chemical Engine & Hose Company # 1. Through the years the department has grown from a two bay firehouse with two horse drawn pieces of equipment to the present 11 bay firehouse consisting of over 15 state of the art firefighting apparatus.

Every day members of the West Hempstead Fire Department answer the call of our families, friends, and neighbors who are in need of assistance. From auto accidents to heart attacks, from house fires to carbon monoxide alarms, we are there to protect lives and property.
