SMITHTOWN FIRE DEPARTMENT INC

What SMITHTOWN FIRE DEPARTMENT INC does

The Smithtown Fire Department Inc is a nonprofit volunteer fire department established in 1908 and headquartered at 100 Elm Avenue in Smithtown, New York, on Long Island. It provides fire suppression, emergency medical services including ambulance transport, technical rescue, hazardous materials response, and fire prevention education to residents and visitors of the Smithtown fire district under statutory authority granted by New York State law.

The department operates three firehouses — headquarters plus Station 1 (46 Plymouth Blvd) and Station 2 (28 Plaisted Ave) — housing a fleet that includes Engines 1 through 5 and 14–15, Ladder 7, Rescue 9, and multiple ambulances. Service delivery is built around the 911 emergency dispatch system and a publicly accessible Broadcastify radio feed (feed/39565). Beyond emergency response, the department runs the Explorer Post 420 youth training program for ages 14–18, offers public CPR and first aid classes at headquarters, and hosts annual community events such as the Christmas Parade and Fire Prevention Day. In 2025 the department logged 4,684 total alarms, including 3,013 ambulance calls, 765 fire calls, and 226 motor vehicle accidents, placing it among the busiest volunteer departments in Suffolk County.

The business model is donation-funded rather than commercially monetized. Revenue consists of voluntary tax-deductible contributions from Smithtown residents solicited via an annual fund drive (with a suggested contribution of $30 per year, framed as less than nine cents a day), supplemented by a nominal $5 registration fee for CPR card issuance. The organization is governed by elected volunteer leadership — Chief of Department Daniel Dongvort, three Assistant Chiefs, and company captains — with no parent company, external investors, or ownership stakes. Operational coordination includes mutual aid agreements with at least eleven other Suffolk County fire departments and a working relationship with utility provider PSEG for hazard isolation.
