Congratulations on Protecting Yorktown for 100 years
It was an honor to serve as one of it's dedicated members for the few years I did
in the late 60's and early 70's

you guys are great. good to see that you guys are so progressive in your training. and to think you do this kind of work with out pay, my helmet is off to you , please brothers be safe. i wanted to be a f/f when i lived up there 25 yrs ago. i got on down here 21 yrs ago.
we just opened a very large regional fire rescue training facility( state of the art ) and we are getting volunteers and paid coming in and training here from all over. maybe you mite visit one day. ok men take care and once again stay healthy and safe.!!

Ladies and gentelmen of the YHFD, this is a fantastic web-site and serves the department well and with pride. Much has changed in the town and the department since I joined in 1977, but the pride and integrity of the Yorktown Heights Engine Co. No. 1 remains as strong as ever. Stay Safe All.

ONE OF THE VERY BEST FILM I EVER SAW

Great Video

GREAT website!! Just wanted to pay my respects to an institution that has done so much for so many. Having father who is still one of your members and past cheifs, my brother and sisters have basically grown up in the Firehouse. I am honored to have known so many of these great men, some who are no longer with us, and I am extremely proud of my dad, Seymour Samuels.

Be safe, and keep up the good work.

My family and I live on Mogul Drive. I know we are at the end of Yorktown but I didn't see our streets listed in the NCN for the Santa/Fire Truck Candy Cane Visit. I know my Kindergartner & my 7th grader (who won't admit it!)would love to see Santa. I have plenty of little neighbors and I know they would also love to see Santa. I hope this is the site for these type of simple request. If not can you direct me to the proper email address? Thank you as always. Mogul Park Association/Secretary Maureen Bossio

Hey YHFD,
was just getting itchy on whats going on in Yorktown and my first stop is the fire department. I still miss you all even though my Dad has passed a long time ago I still bring the fire department to memory. My best to Mike Androsko, Wesley and Niles Curtis and all who remember my Dad Joe Guss and myself and my Mom Peggy.

You guys have no idea how much it means to me to be able to see how much my uncle, Mike Anderson, meant to everyone. I knew of all the things he did for the town and I know how many people will miss him. I cant think of one bad thing he ever did. Once again I thank for this memorial. I live almost 1000 miles away and still havent visited since he pasted. This is a great thing to be able to read about what he has done and accomplished.

Great pics cause thats how i remember my Uncle
Thank You

Great site! And good luck with your parade and carnival this week. If any of the participating FDs are still looking for music, have them give me a call. We're available.

All the best!

Thank you for the kind words about my father, John Schroeder. We have always been proud of his association with the Yorktown Fire Department. He was honored to serve the community. I also wish to thank all the current firemen for keeping Yorktown a safer place.

Thank you for you great tribute to Mike, he will be missed. Our family will always remember him as a kind and giving person.

Thank you for posting such kind words and great pictures of Mike Anderson. The pictures really do say it all! He will be remembered always.

That Job at quaker hill took a crap load out of all of us thanks for your help Y town. Have a very happy holiday and God bless you all.

What a awsome website. I remeber my years with YHFD fondly. Left Yorktown to be a Police Officer with Broward County Sheriffs Office in South Florida. I was injured twice in the line of duty, and retired on a disability pension. I love keeping an eye on Yorktown, I miss it very much.

Stay safe & keep up the good work.

I have such pleasant memories of my days with Eng. CO #1. Thank you for the letters from the Benevolent Association which keeps me updated. We see on a regular basis, former President Marty Walkes and Flippe's widow, Maryann.

I grew up in Yorktown. I remember the parades in all of the local towns, carnivals and things. I attended school in one building, K-5 thru 12th grade. Graduated in 1960 and joined the Air Force for 20 years, served in country Vietnam. My family (father, mother, Uncles/Aunts) were real active in the YHFD and Auxillary. I would like to see on your web-site a history of Presidents and Chiefs. That would be real interesting to see.

very nice web site keep up the good work also would like to know how i can get one of your fire patches for my collection thank you and stay safe

A great site that compliments a great department. Maybe we will see you guys soon if you guys want to check out our new main station.

Great site to compliment an already great Department. It's been a priviledge for me to work with you guys in the 15 years I have been affiliated with Croton FD.

Looking forward to the years ahead with our friends to the east!

I love the site. Keep up the good work.
BE SAFE BROTHERS!

My heart felt sorrow to the members of YHFD and to Ray for the loss of Joe. I rember joe with those sneaky eyes and the cigars, and even the laughter he brought around the fire house. Even his jokes made us laugh. He will be missed by all. R.I.P. JOE

Very nice web site looks good keep up the good work and be safe

I am so sorry for the loss of Joe. He was such a character, always putting a smile on my face. I could always cont on him to make me laugh. He will surely be missed. My deepest sympathies to Ray and the rest of his family. You will be in my prayers.

Nice story on Joe
