This past Friday, members of the Deer Park Fire Department had the honor of visiting Ex-Chief Frank Pfister at the Veterans Home in Stony Brook to celebrate his 92nd birthday. 🎂
During our visit, Ex-Chief Pfister was presented with several honors, including recognition for an incredible 65 years of dedicated service to our department. The afternoon was filled with memories, stories, and plenty of laughs, a truly special visit with someone who has given so much to the DPFD family.
Happy 92nd Birthday, Chief Pfister, and thank you for 65 years of service, leadership, and brotherhood.
Taking care of our own isn’t just something we say, it’s who we are and what we do! ❤️
Are you looking for more than just a routine? Step into something bigger. Step into purpose.
The Deer Park Fire Department is seeking dedicated men and women ready to serve their community when it matters most. No experience? No problem. We provide the training, equipment, and support you need to succeed.
🔥 What we offer: • Free training and equipment • College assistance • Retirement program • Tax benefits • Brotherhood/Sisterhood, pride, and lifelong skills
This isn’t just volunteering, it’s answering the call, protecting your neighbors, and being part of something that truly matters.
🚁 On National Aviation Day, the Deer Park Fire Department proudly recognizes Dawn Schob Aviation.
Your skill, professionalism and readiness help protect residents and support first responders throughout Suffolk County. Thank you for your continued service to our department and the entire community. 💙
The Deer Park Fire Department would like to recognize and thank New York State Senator Monica R. Martinez and Assemblywoman Karen McMahon for their continued support of New York’s volunteer firefighters and emergency responders.
Senator Martinez and Assemblywoman McMahon sponsored legislation that would increase the New York State income tax credit for eligible volunteer firefighters and ambulance workers from $200 to $800 — legislation that passed both houses of the State Legislature with bipartisan support.
For volunteer firefighters, service doesn’t begin and end when the alarm sounds. Our members give countless hours to training, responding to emergencies, maintaining equipment and being there for their neighbors, often while balancing school, careers and families of their own.
While no tax credit can truly measure the value of that commitment, increasing this credit is a meaningful way to recognize the men and women who continue to step forward and serve their communities.
We sincerely appreciate Senator Monica Martinez and Assemblywoman Karen McMahon for standing behind the volunteer fire service and advocating for the thousands of volunteers across Long Island and New York State.
Now, we join them in encouraging Governor Kathy Hochul to sign this legislation into law.
Thank you for supporting the people who answer the call. 🇺🇸🚒

Please join us in congratulating Probationary Firefighter Michael Logrande, who was officially sworn in last week as a member of the Deer Park Fire Department.
Michael spent years in our Junior Firefighter Program, with the goal of one day becoming a Deer Park firefighter and giving back to the community he calls home. Now, that day has arrived.
While continuing his education as a high school student, Michael will also begin training, learning and growing as a probationary member. It’s a big commitment, and we’re proud to see him take that next step.
Our Junior Firefighter Program is about preparing the next generation of the fire service, and Michael’s journey is a perfect example of where it can lead.
Welcome to the team, brother. 🚒🔥 Stay alert. Stay low. Stay safe.
And maybe Michael’s story could be yours.
Whether you’re ready to volunteer as a firefighter or you’re a young person interested in becoming a Deer Park Junior Firefighter, there’s a place for you to get involved, learn, serve your community and become part of something bigger. Link in bio.

Forty years ago, a family may have had up to 17 minutes to escape a house fire.
Today? Less than 4 minutes.
Modern homes burn faster than ever due to synthetic furnishings, open floor plans, and lightweight construction. That’s why having a plan and practicing it, has never been more important.
Before you go to bed tonight:
🚪 Close your bedroom door before you sleep. 🚨 Make sure your smoke alarms are working. 🧯 Know two ways out of every room. 👨👩👧👦 Practice your family’s home escape plan. 📍 Choose a meeting place outside and stay there.
A few minutes of preparation today could save your life tomorrow.
Plan. Practice. Escape.
❤️ Stay safe, Deer Park. We are always here for you!

Please join us in congratulating Probationary Firefighters Michael Scelzi Jr. and Anthony Shoppmann on officially being sworn in as members of the Deer Park Fire Department.
