Welcome to Our Website

The Friends of Islip Town Firefighters Museum has been operating since the 1990’s. Our museums goal is to maintain as much of Islip Town’s Fire Service history as possible. The museums mission is to commit ourselves to the historical preservation of Fire Departments, Public Safety Education, and Fire Fighters Safety programs. Our 16 departments have been working diligently collecting donated historical artifacts for the museums displays and exhibits for everyone’s enjoyment and for the preservation of our fire services history. Friends of the Islip Town firefighters museum’s future home is to be located at a site next to Duck’s stadium, in Central Islip. We look forward to a partnership with other Community Organizations, Businesses, Friends and Government support, in order to help us reach our goals and to share our proud heritage with our Long Island families.

Early Islip Town Fire Equipment such as this Brentwood Hook and Ladder, lasted for many years, and serviced all of Islip Town. Units like this are available for our museum and will be displayed in upcoming exhibits. The Sayville Fire Department still maintains this type of unit.
 

Our Firefighters Museum is looking for any and all donations towards the Construction of our Museum, Exhibits, and Education Center. For Information please contact any member of the Museum committee, or Ray Reilly Jr. or Ed Tully.


Thursday Oct. 7 - Museum Meeting - Great River. F.D 7:30pm Start

Most of our Islip Town Fire Services originated in the early 1800’s. Our Fire services began when small groups of public advocates saw the population growth increase in their communities due to the expansion of the rail service. This In turn created the need for fire protection and fire safety in our hamlets.

Our Fire departments have many outstanding collections for the Museum’s displays such as Historical Fires and Events, Parades, and Competitions. Our plans for exhibits and education programs will be designed to educate the public on Fire safety, and Disaster preparedness.
