Lynbrook Fire Department

Tally-Ho. Chemical Engine Company was formed as an independent fire company in 1911. Tally-Ho originally served the western part of what is now Lynbrook and eastern Valley Stream,, and was a member company of the United Fire Department, with other member companies from Norwood (Malverne) and Munson (Franklin Square).

In 1922 the area Tally-Ho is located was annexed by the Inc. Village of Lynbrook, and Tally-Ho was forced by law to become part of the Lynbrook Fire Department. The company was split between Lynbrook and Valley Stream members, and Engine 2 of the Valley Stream Fire Department was founded on October 22nd, 1922. It was determined that the Lynbrook members would keep the firehouse and name, while the Valley Stream members would take the truck. an 1922 GMC thus becoming Valley Stream's second engine company.

On April 23, 2021, Tally-Ho Engine Company #3 of the Lynbrook Fire Department dedicated and christened their new 2021 Spartan fire truck at wet-down ceremonies in the parking lot of the Tally-Ho firehouse on Horton Avenue. This fire truck is their eighth piece of firefighting equipment since the company was formed 119 years ago.

Lynbrook mayor Alan Beach and members of the village board were present along with county and town officials. Also present were the chiefs of the Lynbrook Fire Department and other local fire companies.

During the ceremony, Ex-Chief and Honorary Commissioner Thomas Ryan broke the ceremonial bottle of champagne on the front pumper. It was also blessed by Our Lady of Peace deacon Kevin McCormick. After the ceremony the new fire truck was wet-down with streams of water.

The new fire truck is dedicated in memory of Tally-Ho Lieutenant Fred Shnoor killed in the line of duty during a fire on May 31, 1932, and Tally-Ho Ex-Captain Jeffrey Wiener who as a Navy Corpsman was killed in action in Iraq on May 7, 2005.
