Lawrence-Cedarhurst Fire Department

The Lawrence-Cedarhurst Fire Department traces its history back to the founding of the Washington Hook, & Ladder Co. on September 27, 1882. Today, the eighty volunteer firemen of the Lawrence-Cedarhurst Fire Department continue the tradition of untiring commitment to their neighbors by responding to well over 1,000 calls each year, including house fires, motor vehicle accidents, ambulance calls, hazardous materials leaks and spills, water rescues, and calls for assistance from neighboring fire departments as far away as Hempstead and Great Neck.
