Last night we came out to support one of our own!!

In celebration of EMS week and the remarkable work done by our EMS volunteers across Suffolk County, the Suffolk County Legislature hosted its 2nd Annual EMS Recognition Awards Ceremony. Each Suffolk County Legislator picks one EMS provider from their respective districts to be recognized, and we are beyond proud that our own EMT Jenn Carney was selected as the honoree of the 13th Legislative District by Legislator Sal Formica.

Legislator Thorne as well as County Clerk Vincent Puleo were on hand to issue proclamations to EMT Carney thanking her for her outstanding commitment to our community as well as to our county.

EMT Carney’s family, and St. James FD family were on hand to support her during this outstanding recognition.

Have you ever thought of serving your community as an EMT? We are always looking for new members…there is no better time to join than now !!

On Monday, the St. James Fire Department traveled to the Suffolk County Training Center in Yaphank to sharpen our skills in “taxpayer response” operations. Continuous training is critical to ensuring our members are prepared to respond safely and effectively when our community needs us most.

During the training, our members focused on key firefighting skills including Forcible Entry, Ventilation, Search & Rescue, and Engine Operations. We are proud of the dedication our members show in continually improving their skills and readiness.

The Nesconset Fire Department teamed up with us for this amazing night of action. We are so grateful for our continued friendship with our neighbors

Today, members of the St James Fire Department supplied 2 standby crews for the third annual St. James/Head of the Harbor Certified 5 Mile Challenge and 5K Fun Run. This was to benefit Ronald McDonald House Long Island and its campaign to build a new Ronald McDonald House at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital.

“This event is about more than just crossing a finish line,” said capital campaign chair and race organizer Cynthia Wong Lippe. “It’s about coming together as a community to support families facing some of the most challenging moments of their lives and helping make a new Ronald McDonald House at Stony Brook a reality.”

We are honored to be part of this amazing event.
