The Nesconset Fire Department is comprised of three "companies": Engine Company No. 1, our sister company,  Ladder-Rescue Company 2 and Fire Police Company 3.  The primary difference is the apparatus that we maintain. Basically, we get the Engine, and Ladder-Rescue gets the ladder truck and the heavy rescue vehicle (with a few other variations).  The Fire Police are highly seasoned fire-fighter veterans, whose job is to protect the welfare of our active firefighters.  EMS is divided between the two companies, and as such - each company has its own ambulance. Although there are differences in the apparatus we maintain (not to mention our friendly rivalry!), we work together as a cohesive, well-trained unit in the event of emergencies.

A Fireman's Prayer

When I am called to duty, God, wherever flames may rage,
  give me the strength to save some life, whatever be its age.
 Help me embrace a little child, before it is too late, 
or save an  older person from the horror of that fate.
 Enable me to be alert and hear the weakest shout,
and quickly and efficiently, to put the fire out.
 I want to fill my calling and to give the best in me,
 to guard my every neighbor, and protect their property.
 And if according to your will, I have to lose my life,

 please bless, with your protecting hand, 
 my children and my wife
