RECRUITMENT EFFORT GROWING

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 are still accepting applications from residents of the Hauppauge Fire District who would like to serve their community as Class A firefighters. Call 631 265 2499, Ext 126 for Firefighter Recruitment or click on the JOIN tab above.

2023 RESIDENTIAL FUND DRIVE

If you are a resident of the Hauppauge Fire District you should have received your 2023 Annual Fund Drive mailing. We just want to point out that the Hauppauge Volunteer Fire Department does NOT use a solicitor. We handle all fund raising in house.

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.
