HOURS

The Islip Town Fire & EMS Museum and Education Center was established after a twenty six year journey by a small band of firefighters navigating through the complexities of fundraising, permits
and building construction. Constructed entirely without taxpayer funds, the museum was built as
a modern facility through numerous fundraising efforts as well as utilizing donated/discounted materials and skilled labor provided through a variety of sources.


Dedicated in June of 2017, the Islip Town Fire & EMS Museum and Education Center is designed to provide a showcase to preserve, maintain and exhibit the rich history of the volunteer Fire and EMS agencies serving the Town of Islip for over 125 years. The museum utilizes a unique display concept
in that each of the twenty one fire departments and five ambulance corps within the Town of Islip 
are provided with display cases to create their own exhibit showcasing artifacts representing their individual agency's storied history. Furthermore, the museum maintains a quarterly rotation of both antique fire apparatus and artifacts exhibits ensuring our visitors a truly distinct experience each
time they visit the museum.  


In our capacity as an education center, the museum provides a variety of educational training programs geared for both the general public and fellow first responders. These include but are not limited to defensive driver education, Pet CPR & First Aid, babysitter safety, historical presentations, fire safety education and firefighter training seminars. These training programs generate revenue
to support the daily operating expenses of our private, non-profit facility.

Our Summer operating hours are 2 hours prior to Long Island Ducks home games, with private tours available upon request (reservation in advance is required). Due to the volunteer nature of our staff,
​it is encouraged to contact the museum prior to your visit to ensure our facility will be open.   

We look forward to seeing you at the museum and sharing the rich history of the Islip Town volunteer fire and EMS service!
