Belmont Hook and Ladder Company No 1-Truck 1
Belmont Hook and Ladder Company No. 1, established in 1905, was formed by local farmers and businessmen with a significant contribution from racing tycoon August Belmont. The company has remained an integral part of the Elmont community, operating from its original firehouse which was constructed for $110,000 and has preserved its historical significance over the years.
Initially equipped with a horse-drawn truck, the company has evolved, now responding to nearly 800 alarms annually with modern apparatus including a 2008 Ferrara mid-mount tower ladder. Celebrating its centennial in 2005, Belmont Hook and Ladder Company No. 1 continues to serve the community while also holding local lore of being haunted.
