An arm of the Nassau County Police Department, the Stewart Manor Auxiliary Police unit provides extra eyes and ears for the NCPD. The unit's car patrols the Village, usually at night and during predictably troublesome times, such as Holloween. It serves as security for parades and large Village gatherings, such as events on the Country Club lawn. All of this unit's chief's have been Village residents. The Police Auxiliary provides a trained, equipped corps of volunteers who are called upon in times of emergency. New volunteers are always welcome.

The Fire Department is composed of volunteer members organized into two companies. Apparatus consists of two pumpers, an emergency rescue vehicle, an ambulance and cars for the Fire Chief and Assistant Fire Chief. The members of the Department meet weekly to practice and to upgrade their skills, and they train at the Bethpage fire fighting facility, learning the latest fire and rescue practices. During blackouts, floods, storms, and unimaginable emergencies like the World Trade Center attack, the Fire Department members are first responders to the local community and, as needed, to the larger community. Consider volunteering for this important community organization.


Stewart Manor Fire Department Celebrates 75th Anniversary

By Russell Curley

The Stewart Manor Fire Department was organized back in 1927. On Sept. 28 of that year, the department held its first meeting. Edward Jackson was the department's first chief. The first apparatus purchased was a 1926 Brockway pumper. Their next apparatus was a 1925 Mack "Bulldog" 500 G.P.M. pumper.

They soon formed Company #1 and #2. Before they formed the Stewart Manor Fire Department they were known as Stewart Manor Co. #4, under the protection of the New Hyde Park Fire District.

In 1931, they would form another company. It would be the first rescue company under Company #3. They would go on to purchase a Diamond "T" Rescue Truck. In 1927, their Brockway pumper was stationed at Salisbury Avenue. By 1930, they would move to their new station on Covert Avenue, where they are still stationed.

In 1954, they would purchase their first ambulance and would become Company #4. In 1936, they would replace the first pumper, which will become a tradition of many Mack pumpers they would eventually replace. Sadly in 1956, the first fire chief (Ed Jackson) would become the first member to die in the line of duty. There is now a commemorative statue of him recognizing the years he volunteered.

The world soon after saw aviator Charles Lindbergh fly from Mitchel Field to Paris and lived through the great 1938 Hurricane hit, World War II, the 1947 blizzard, the Korean War, the Cuban Missile, the Vietnam War and the 1965 blackout.

In the later years, the riots of the '60s took place, along with Desert Storm and the first World Trade Center bombing. The 1995 wildfires on Long Island also occurred and of course, the second "Day of Infamy" - Sept. 11.

Today Stewart Manor traditionally holds its 4th of July parade. They are now part of the 1st Battalion with the Bellerose, Bellerose Terrace, Floral Park, Floral Park Center, Garden City, Garden City Park, New Hyde Park, Mineola and South Floral Park Fire Departments.

I want to personally thank Chief Frederick Powell and Commissioner Jim Kelly for taking the time to give me historical information about the department and in helping me photograph the fire apparatus.
