 Rescue Hook Ladder & Bucket Company No. 1
was organized on November 25th, 1879, making Truck
Co. the oldest fire company in Lynbrook, as well as one of
the oldest existing fire companies on Long Island.
Their
firehouse, owned by the firefighters & which was
in continuous use from 1884 until a tragic fire on April
22nd, 2005, boasted a bell tower actually used for
alerting the volunteers in the late 19th and early 20th
century. The original bell now is at the Fire
Memorial on Sunrise Hwy.
The
firehouse has been rebuilt in a design reminiscent
of the original structure.
