Tally-Ho Chemical Engine Company  was formed as an independent fire company in 1911. Tally-Ho originally served the western part what is now Western 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 Steam members, and  Engine 2 of the Valley Stream Fire Department  was founded on October 22, 1922.  It was determined that the Lynbrook members would keep the firehouse and name, while the Valley Stream members would take the truck, a 1922 GMC, thus becoming Valley Stream's second engine company.
