History of Greenport Fire Department
The Greenport Fire Department was organized in 1927. The first station was Greenport Pumper Co. 1, which is presently located on Route 23B opposite the Cedar Park Cemetery. Station 1 carries the county identifier of 25.
The department expanded in 1935, with the organization of the Becraft Pumper Co. 2, which is located on County Route 14 at the intersection with Middle Road. Station 2 carries the county identifier of 26.
The department was further expanded in 1966 to meet the needs of the growing Northern end of Town, or the Fairview Ave area. This is when Greenport Pumper Co. 3 was organized, which is the “youngest” fire company in the county. This station carries the county identifier of 24.
Board of Fire Commission
The Greenport Fire Department is administratively run by the Board of Fire Commission, which is comprised of five commissioners who are elected by the tax payers. The board is also comprised of a secretary and a treasurer. The department is led by the District Chief (Car 1), 1st Assistant Chief (Car 2), and 2nd Assistant Chief (Car 3). The Chiefs are nominated by a department election and finally appointed by the Fire Commission. Additionally, each station has 4 line officers, which include a Captain and 3 Lieutenants.
