History
Individuals from Levittown gathered informally in early 1949 to discuss ways of providing the newly built Levittown with proper fire protection. Previously the area was protected by the Hicksville, Bethpage, Wantagh, and East Meadow Fire Departments and because of a lack of fire alarm boxes there were many delays when a fire occurred. On August 22, 1950, the Town of Hempstead Board authorized the creation of the Levittown Fire District and on that same day the newly appointed Board of Fire Commissioners passed a resolution creating the Levittown Fire Department.This was one of the largest and most completely equipped departments ever to be commissioned at once, rather than growing in gradual steps.
The first elected Board of Fire Commissioners consisted of Howard Haggerty, Bert Tanner, Art Pfeifer, Thomas E. Sweeney, and Lud Wolf.
Over the last 50 years, the Levittown Fire Department has maintained a policy of keeping abreast of an ever-developing community and anticipating the best way of satisfying its fire protection needs.
