Fair Harbor Fire Department
This is a volunteer department which was established by the Fire District in 1931 and provides fire protection for Fair Harbor and Dunewood and Lonelyville per the agreements made between the various fire districts. It has a Chief and three Assistant Chiefs elected by the members of the department. The Fire District must approve the choice of Chief, and must approve any changes to the bylaws of the department. The organization is open to anyone who is willing to devote the time necessary to become a trained fire fighter. The organization also has a woman's auxiliary which raises money via a variety of events (pancake breakfast, etc). The department gets no direct financial support from The Town of Islip.
