Today marks a milestone that years of hard work, dedication, and commitment have led to.
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.
Both Michael and Anthony spent years in our Junior Firefighter Program, learning, training, and preparing for this very moment. Michael served as Junior Captain, while Anthony proudly served as a Lieutenant, leading by example and earning the respect of those around them.
For Michael, today is especially meaningful as he follows in the footsteps of his father, who proudly serves as a firefighter and mother serves in our auxiliary in our department.
Anthony also continues a proud family tradition of service. His father served in the fire service here on Long Island, and his grandfather proudly served as a Chief, making this the next chapter in a family legacy dedicated to serving others.
To both of you, congratulations on earning the privilege of wearing the Deer Park Fire Department patch. Your journey is just beginning, and we couldn’t be more proud to welcome you as brothers.
Stay alert. Stay low. Stay safe. We are excited to see what the future has in store for both of you.
Life will always be busy. Work will always demand your time. There will always be another reason to wait.
But if becoming a firefighter is something you’ve been thinking about… maybe that’s your answer.
We’re not looking for superheroes. We’re looking for ordinary people who are willing to step up, train together, and become part of something bigger than themselves. 💪🔥
One day, you’ll either be glad you started… or wish you had. Time is now!
Your community needs firefighters. The question is: Will you answer the call?

Yesterday, the Deer Park Fire Department was proud to support the 19th Annual Town of Babylon Wounded Warrior Ride.
Our members had the honor of welcoming participants with a flag arch and serving food for the ride as everyone gathered together in support of our nation’s heroes.
A heartfelt thank you to all of our members who donated their time, every volunteer, our fellow first responders, and the nystateparkpolice for stopping by, saying hello and showing their support. Events like these remind us of the strength of our community and what can be accomplished when we all come together for such an incredible cause.

The Deer Park Fire Department proudly congratulates Firefighter Hakeem Henlon on graduating from the NYPD Academy!
Hakeem has always been the kind of person who leads by example, one of the first to lend a helping hand, someone you can always count on, and a firefighter who truly embodies what service to others is all about. His dedication, character, and commitment have made him an invaluable member of our department, and we have no doubt those same qualities will make him an exceptional New York City Police Officer.
We are incredibly proud to see one of our own take this next step in a career dedicated to protecting and serving others. While his badge may be changing, his commitment to his community remains the same.
Congratulations, Hakeem, on this outstanding achievement. Your Deer Park Fire Department family is behind you every step of the way. We wish you a long, successful, and safe career.
Stay safe, and never forget, you’ll always have a second family here at the Deer Park FD. 🚒💙🚓❤️ ... See MoreSee Less
Today, members of the Deer Park Fire Department traded turnout gear for fishing rods and spent an amazing day on the water aboard the Yankee III out of Captree State Park.
It was the perfect opportunity to step away for a few hours, enjoy the beautiful weather, share plenty of laughs, catch a few fish, and make some great memories together. Days like these strengthen the friendships and teamwork that carry over into everything we do while serving our community.
A special thank you to Chief of Department Rob Macaluso for organizing such a fantastic outing. Thank you to all of our members and district EMS who came out to enjoy the day, and to the outstanding captain and crew of the Yankee III for their first-class hospitality.
Sometimes the best days don’t involve sirens or emergency calls, just friends, fresh air, plenty of laughs, and the chance to enjoy each other’s company. It’s these moments that remind us how fortunate we are to be part of the Deer Park Fire Department family.
🚒 From Junior Members to Firefighters. 🚒
