DAYLIGHT SAVINGS IS ENDING!☀

When you go to change the clock this weekend, take a second to check your smoke alarms.

⏲ Test your alarm every month
🔋If your alarm uses replaceable batteries, replace batteries as needed or after 6 months. Replace entire unit after 10 years.
🚨If your alarm has a sealed battery unit, test often and replace entire unit after 10 years.

A safe and working alarm system can change everything. Home fires occur often in homes with smoke alarms whose batteries have died or the alarm wasn't working properly.

Use this as a reminder to take a few minutes this weekend to check yours and help keep your family safe and protected.

🎃 Happy Halloween from your West Babylon Volunteer Fire Department! 👻

Before all you ghosts and goblins head out to load up on candy, take a few moments to prepare!

🚸 Use sidewalks, cross at intersections, and look both ways before crossing.

🚗 Drivers: Slow down, stay alert, and watch for children entering the roadway.

🧙 Choose costumes that won’t cause trips or block vision.

🕯️ Use battery-operated candles in jack-o’-lanterns, and keep decorations away from heat sources.

🍬 Have an adult check treats before children enjoy them.

🔦 Carry a flashlight or glow sticks, and add reflective tape to costumes and treat bags.

Be safe, West Babylon! 🦇

It is with great sadness that Chiefs and Officers of the West Babylon Volunteer Fire Department announce the passing of 65 year member, Firefighter John Zanghi.

Firefighter Zanghi joined the Department and Beaver Engine Company #2 on August 6, 1961. At our annual installation dinner in March of this year, he was recognized for reaching a milestone 65 years of service - becoming the first member in Department history to reach this status.

As our longest serving member and our true “senior man,” Firefighter Zanghi has left a tremendous impact on our Department and Community.

Our prayers are with Firefighter Zanghi’s friends and family, as well as the members of Department and Beaver Engine Company #2, during this difficult time.

🪢 This weekend, members of the West Babylon Volunteer Fire Department attended a Rescue Technician Basic course hosted by the Suffolk County Fire Academy and East Farmingdale Volunteer Fire Company.

The course includes an overview in areas of specialized rescue, search, technical rescue management, risks and priorities; use of ropes, knots, and rope systems in a low angle environment, and establishment of landing zones for helicopter operations. Demonstrations, practice sessions and testing are included.

No one call for service is the same. As such, our members regularly train to be able to respond to a wide array of incidents!

The West Babylon Volunteer Fire Department proudly congratulates Firefighter Peter Daniele, recipient of the Suffolk County Fire Academy-VEEB Medal of Valor!

On the night of January 9, 2025, Peter detected an odor of burning consistent with that of a structure fire while driving home. He would investigate the odor and subsequently discovered a working residential structure fire. As he arrived on scene, he received reports that the elderly residents of the home may still be inside the dwelling.

Without hesitation, Peter immediately entered the home, where he encountered heavy smoke and a well-involved fire. Despite these hazards, Peter located an unresponsive victim on the floor. Operating in an atmosphere immediately dangerous to life and health, without firefighting gear or respiratory protection, he removed the victim from the structure. The victim was transported to Good Samaritan Hospital in serious condition.

For these actions, Firefighter Peter Daniele was awarded the Suffolk County Vocational Education and Extension Board Class 1 Medal.

Congratulations, Peter, and thank you for your service!

We extend our congratulations to the winners of our fire prevention poster and essay contests, as well as thank our partner agencies who helped make the even special - including Suffolk County Fire Rescue and Emergency Services, the Suffolk County Sheriff's Office, and Catholic Health.

With this being the first weekend of fire prevention month, we proudly educated residents on many fire safety topics including cooking fires, carbon monoxide incidents, clothes dryer fires, a vehicle extrication demo, and more!
