About Us

A Legacy of Courage & Community Protection

Founded in 1893, the Riverhead Fire Department has served as the backbone of emergency response for Suffolk County's North Fork community. What began as a volunteer hose company has grown into a professional department comprising 150+ trained firefighters and emergency responders.

Our station at 175 Middle Road serves as both our operational headquarters and a community resource. We respond to thousands of calls annually — from structure fires and vehicle accidents to medical emergencies and hazardous material incidents — while also dedicating significant resources to prevention, inspection, and public education.
