If you’re looking for a family friendly event to take the kids, want to learn more about emergency responders, or are considering becoming a volunteer firefighter, then the Mastic Beach Ambulance Company has an upcoming event for you.
They’re hosting their annual open house on Sunday, May 19th, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Bring an appetite and a thirst for learning all things about emergency responders, because members of the fire department will provide free food, free refreshments, and a live demonstration by the Mastic Beach Fire Department.
You’ll be able to fill out an application to become a member.
The Mastic Beach Ambulance Company was founded in 1948, as part of the Mastic Beach Fire Department. In 1987, we separated from the Mastic Beach Fire Department.
The Mastic Beach Ambulance District covers an area of almost 12 miles, protecting and serving Fire Island on the south from Moriches Inlet to Old/New Inlet, and north to Wavecrest Drive.
There are currently 60 active riding volunteers and 30 life members and/or associate volunteers.
Volunteers are needed, since they have experienced a 5% increase in call volume year over year for the past ten years.
The Sunday, May 19th open house will take place at 343 Neighborhood Road, Mastic Beach.
