The back of the truck room. A place for members new and old to get together, drill, share a cup of coffee, or just talk about life. An important part of our firehouse culture and what makes the company who we are. A lot of memories are made back here and there’s more to come.

This morning 443 participated in the Nassau Suffolk MOBEX drill. This drill is organized so in the event of a major emergency in either county. A task force of engines and trucks can mobilize and respond. Drills like this ensure paperwork, hose threads, and communication remains on the same page. Regardless of if we’re operating with a neighboring town, or a town several miles from our regular response district.

One of the things that makes 443 unique in Rockville Centre is the rear intake. 443 is the only engine in the village to have a rear intake and it allows us to pull passed the fire building or closer to the fire with our pre connected 30’ 5 inch. Time and time again we use this rear intake to leave room for our brothers in as well as make the stretch easier for our own members. 📸:
