THE MASTIC FIRE DEPARTMENT
1925
 |
It was brand spankin' new in 1925 and provided not only fire protection for the growing three year old community of Mastic Park, but within a year the new town of Mastic Beach as well. The large Community Hall attached in the rear provided a place to hold dances , card parties, meetings etc. Bands like Centre Moriches own "JAZZ MANIACS" were booked and a most splendid time was had by all at the original
MASTIC CHEMICAL CO #1 FIREHOUSE & HALL.
Here is an account of an upcoming dance & more importantly
THE VERY FIRST ALARM THE BOYS FROM MASTIC WOULD ROLL ON
 |
I have heard ( not positive if it's true ) that around 1935-36 while answering an alarm during a party the Community Center caught fire and when the boys returned they had no building to house their American LaFrance engines ? Undaunted they replaced it with a better building built of Bricks!
