Organized in 1889 as the East Williston Hook & Ladder Company, sixty volunteers provide Fire, Rescue and EMS First Response protection answering an average of 160 alarms annually. While primarily a residential community, East Williston also serves a small downtown business area on the main thoroughfare as well as a local stop on the Long Island Railroad’s Oyster Bay line.
Part of the village municipal complex, this four bay firehouse is home to East Williston’s entire fleet.

Originally serving the Lakeview FD (also in Nassau County), this rig was in service until 2019 when replaced with a Ford F350 crew cab pick-up. It was purchased by a department member who later sold it to a farm in Kentucky where it was to be used as a tow vehicle. While serving East Williston, it was equipped with Hurst® extrication tools (the current 812 carries a Holmatro® extrication tool) and provided EMS first response in conjunction with the neighboring Williston Park FD and Nassau County Police Emergency Ambulance Bureau who provide ALS level transport.

Original to East Williston, it served until 1953 when it was sold to another owner in upstate New York. Upon its' return in the early 1980's, it was fully restored in-house by several members including Ex-Chief Joe Zolezzi who owned an auto body repair shop. This rig has a virtual twin owned by the Great River FD in neighboring Suffolk County.
This fire truck ride is located in the playground adjacent to the village municipal complex that includes East Williston's headquarters.
