At 10:52 AM on July 12 we were dispatched for an EMS assist at Hauppauge High School. A roofer working on the gym roof suffered from possible heat exposure and needed to be removed from the roof. Ladder 3-8-7 responded under the command of Chief Furuno. CI Hauppauge Ambulance personnel had responded to the roof to assist the aided and the worker was safely removed from the roof via the bucket of 3-8-7. He was transported to the hospital for treatment. Suffolk County Police, including Emergency Services Bureau, were also on scene. Photos by Fire Marshal Gottlieb and Lt. Raccuglia.

At our July department meeting Chief Crean administered the membership oath to 7 of our 8 new firefighters. So far, our recruitment campaign has resulted in 11 new members this year with 3 more scheduled to join our ranks by September.

All Hauppauge apparatus responded to the scene and our mutual aid plan was activated with initial help coming from Central Islip, East Brentwood, Smithtown and Nesconset Fire Departments.

While operating at this scene we received a second alarm at 3:21 AM for a motor vehicle accident with possible ejection on the LIE Westbound between exits 55 and 56. A standby crew from Nesconset responded from our fire headquarters and units from Central Islip responded under the command of 3-7-30. Unfortunately, the motorist was deceased and all units were released at 3:35 AM. Suffolk PD closed the Westbound LIE to conduct a homicide investigation.

Earlier in the year the Board of Fire Commissioners authorized an aggressive recruitment campaign for both volunteer firefighters and Explorers. The results of that campaign, so far, have been outstanding. At our June 5th Department meeting we will be approving 8 more individuals for membership. That will bring to ten the number of new recruits taken in since April. Two of these ten probationary firefighters are from our Explorer Post 660.

In addition, the Explorer Post has 3 new members as a result of the campaign.

We will not call you and we will not come to your house asking for a donation. If someone calls you claiming it is on our behalf, it is a scam. Residents wishing to donate should do so by check sent directly to the department at 855 Wheeler Road, Hauppauge.

This year's brochure contains information about our recruitment program, various community outreach programs, important dates and fire safety.

We thank everyone for their consideration and generosity.

The Hauppauge Fire Department is looking for young members of the community to join the Hauppauge Fire Department’s Explorers Program, Post 660. You must be 14-17 years of age and reside in the Hauppauge Fire District. 

This is a great way to start your volunteer firefighting career as a member of the Hauppauge Fire Department. Once you reach the age of 18, you can formally apply for membership in the Hauppauge Fire Department as a Class “A” Firefighter. 

As a member of the Explorers, you will have the opportunity to train and get a behind the scenes look at how the Hauppauge Volunteer Fire Department works. This training will give you a head start on the training you would receive with the department and with the Suffolk County Fire Academy if you become an official member of the Hauppauge Fire Department. 

As an Explorer you will receive specific training, both classroom and hands-on instruction, in basic firefighting skills including how to properly wear firefighting gear including the SCBA (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus), hose handling, hydrant and water supply, ladders, firefighting tools, strategy and tactics of firefighting, etc. 

Once you successfully apply for full membership in the department you become eligible for many benefits including various scholarship programs. Suffolk County offers incentives through its SERVES program to volunteer firefighters who attend Suffolk Community College. 

Volunteers under the SERVES scholarship program will be eligible to have their tuition paid in full while maintaining their membership as an active member in good standing in one of Suffolk County’s volunteer fire companies or EMS providers. There is no limitation as to the academic program the SERVES recruit can enter at any SCCC campus.

A SERVES student/volunteer must maintain volunteer activity and training levels and certain academic objectives during their course of study and must commit to a post-education service obligation of two (2) to five (5) years following the receipt of their total SERVES funding.
