Millwood Fire Co

What Millwood Fire Co does

Millwood Fire Company (legal name: Millwood Fire Co. No. 1 Inc.) is a 100% volunteer, 501(c)(3) nonprofit fire and emergency response organization founded in 1924 and headquartered in Millwood, New York, within Westchester County. It operates from two fire stations—Station #1 at 100 Millwood Road (commissioned October 2015) and Station #2 at 366 Croton Dam Road in Ossining (commissioned 1982)—covering approximately 10 square miles and protecting nearly 7,000 residents across the hamlet of Millwood and portions of Chappaqua, Ossining, and Briarcliff. The organization is staffed by roughly 40 active volunteer firefighters drawn from a pool of nearly 50 total volunteers, responding to more than 400 emergency calls annually and maintaining mutual aid ties with at least six neighboring volunteer departments.

The company's service capability is built on a modern, diversified fleet: two KME and Sutphen engines, a 75-foot Sutphen aerial ladder (Ladder 52), a 2017 KME heavy rescue (Rescue 36) with full hydraulic extrication tools, a 1994 Kenworth 3,000-gallon tanker (Tanker 15) for hydrant-deficient areas, two marine units for water rescue, a Polaris UTV with fire/EMS skid for off-road and brush incidents, utility vehicles, and special operations trailers. The organization has achieved an ISO Rating of 3/3Y, which materially reduces homeowners' insurance premiums across the district. Operational specialties include fire suppression, technical rescue (motor vehicle extrication, elevator rescue, technical stabilization), water and ice rescue, hazardous condition mitigation, and severe weather response along the Taconic State Parkway corridor.

The business model is donation- and tax-supported rather than commercial. The Company raises operating funds through annual community fund drives, individual donations, and vehicle donations for training (the latter generating donor tax deductions). Capital equipment and facilities are funded through the separately constituted Millwood Fire District, a New York municipal subdivision that levies taxes on properties within the Fire District boundary. The Company incurs no revenue from service fees; emergency response is provided free to residents. The governance structure separates the Company's operational volunteer leadership (Chief, Assistant Chiefs, line and administrative officers) from the District's financial and administrative function, a common pattern for New York volunteer fire services. The Company also operates a Junior Program for ages 14–16 and coordinates with the Millwood Fire Benevolent (established 1938) for member welfare and support.

3. Vehicle Donations for Training: Donated vehicles used for extrication training; donors receive tax deduction for vehicles in any condition. Vehicles dropped at Station 2 for hands-on rescue training.
