Under the direction of chief Joseph Badala, the West Islip Fire Department offers fire safety services to the community. The department was established in 1951 with the mission to prevent and extinguish fires. The West Islip department also hosts events and fundraisers. Though this fire department is the youngest in West Islip, its services have grown to protect more than 8,500 separate structures. Parties interested in donating or learning more about the department may visit the West Islip Fire Department's website.
