With a rich history dating back to 1948, the Middle Island Fire Department has evolved into a cornerstone of safety for the community. Our dedicated team tirelessly delivers top-notch EMS, Fire Protection, and Rescue services, ensuring the well-being and peace of mind of Middle Island’s residents.
The Middle Island Fire Department, established in 1948, holds a rich and enduring legacy as a dedicated service provider to its community. With a history spanning several decades, the department has consistently demonstrated a commitment to the well-being and safety of the residents it serves.
Comprising the backbone of the Middle Island Fire Department are its various companies, each contributing uniquely to the overall mission of the organization.
OSHA is proposing updates to the “Fire Brigades” standard, which hasn’t been revised since 1980. Unfortunately, these changes could pose significant challenges for volunteer fire departments, making compliance burdensome or even impossible.
The proposed rules introduce strict standards for physical exams, equipment procurement, and emergency planning, which could exceed the capacities of many volunteer departments. This affects our ability to protect both our personnel and the communities we serve.
