Center Moriches Fire Department

The Flanders Fire District, established in 1948, is a dedicated volunteer fire department serving the hamlet of Flanders, protecting approximately 2,500 homes and 2,000 year-round residents. Comprised of 46 members, the department uses a diverse fleet of specialized vehicles, including pumpers, rescue trucks, and a fire boat, to respond to emergencies and ensure community safety. Despite facing challenges due to a smaller tax base—68 percent of land in the district is publicly owned parkland—the Flanders Fire Department remains committed to providing professional emergency responses to residents, businesses, and visitors alike. Their mission emphasizes fostering a highly trained group of volunteers ready to assist in fire-related incidents and natural disasters. Generated from the website
