Albertson Fire Company

What Albertson Fire Company does

The Albertson Fire Company (legal name: Albertson H&L, E&H, Co. 1, Inc.) is an all-volunteer, nonprofit fire department incorporated in New York that has provided fire protection and emergency rescue services to the Albertson, Roslyn Heights, and Searingtown communities in Nassau County, New York since its charter on September 22, 1910. The company operates from two firehouses — its headquarters at 100 I.U. Willets Road (built 1953) and the Dewey Avenue Firehouse — and responds to over 500 calls per year, including fire alarms, motor vehicle incidents, hazardous materials incidents, mutual aid requests, and emergency medical response. Its technical capability rests on a specialized fleet of firefighting apparatus, including a 2023 Pierce Enforcer (Engine 8011), a 2021 Spartan Gladiator 110' Rearmount Aerial (Ladder 809), a 2020 Spartan MetroStar Rescue Pumper (Rescue Engine 806) with Holmatro extrication tools and a 1500 gpm Waterous pump, a 2009 Ferrara Intruder pumper (Engine 804), utility vehicles, and a heritage 1955 Ward LaFrance antique apparatus.

The organization's business model is a hybrid of partial municipal tax-dollar funding (for fire protection services to the named communities) and voluntary community donations collected through an annual fund drive via direct mailers and a Clover-powered online donation widget. Services are provided free of charge to residents; the company has no pricing model, no commercial customers, and no investor structure. The volunteer membership — drawn from local community members — undergoes extensive training including Hazardous Materials Operations, Ropes I & II, Certified First Responder, Emergency Medical Technician, Paramedic, Natural Gas Emergency Training, and FEMA's National Incident Management System. Community engagement is supported through school education programs, parades, open houses, trunk-or-treat events, and a Santa Run, plus a Ladies Auxiliary active on Facebook. Governance is provided by elected officers (President Peter Glavas, Vice President Kevin Rummel, Treasurer Peter Brala, Secretary Henry Wang) and a Board of Trustees chaired by Dan Giordano, with Don McMahon III serving as Chief of Department.
