Chief's Message

As Chief of the Fire Department, I have the privilege of serving a great community and working alongside some of the bravest men and women in the fire service. They are your neighbors, friends, and relatives, and they are actively involved in the community to make The Village of Hempstead a safe place to work and live. We remain committed to providing the highest level of fire suppression, rescue services, and fire education to our residents, visitors, and businesses. Anticipating and responding to the diverse needs of our dynamic population is more than just the mission statement for the Hempstead Fire Department, it is our way of life and the men and women of this department are proud to serve those who rely on us for safety and protection.

We are continually working to ensure that our training and equipment meet the needs of the residents and communities we serve. We take every precaution to protect and prepare the public for emergencies. We need our community members to be part of the solution. Proper fire safety and prevention will not only help you, but our community as well. We are also looking for brave men and women to join as firefighters and fire-medics.
