During EMS Week, we proudly recognize the members of the Nesconset Fire Department who answer thousands of EMS alarms each year.

Our crews continue to train, learn, and prepare so we can deliver the highest level of care when our community needs us most. From the first call to the final handoff, their dedication and professionalism make a difference every day.

Thank you to all EMS providers—past and present—for your commitment to serving Nesconset and surrounding communities.

Last night, the Smithtown Department of Public Safety Fire Marshal’s Office responded to assist the Nesconset Fire Department with a leaking propane tank.

Working alongside firefighters, Fire Marshals safely relocated the leaking tank to an area in which the product in the tank could be safely “burned off” the remaining Liquefied Petroleum Gas.

Great job by all!

Not only to the Moms serving in the Department, but we would be remiss if we didn’t also wish a Happy Mother’s Day to our mothers who taught us the compassion and strength we need to do our jobs.

Happy Mother’s Day!
