Firefighting in the area dates back to the 1800s, but organized firefighting in Westhampton Beach originated in 1904 with the formation of the Quogue and Westhampton Beach Fire Department. For 117 years, the men and women of the Westhampton Beach Fire Department or its predecessor, have served their neighbors by training and performing the duties and responsibilities of dedicated, courageous firefighters … the true spirit of volunteerism.
Plus! Visit the Westhampton Beach Historical Society’s Tuthill House Museum to see the exhibition “The History of the Fire Service On the 25th Anniversary of the Sunrise Wildfire.” This exhibit will be open the day of the Antique Fire Apparatus Exhibition from 10 AM to 4 PM. Free admission!
