Working Structure Fire – Joyce Drive

Last night, at approximately 7:33 p.m., the Riverhead Fire Department responded to a reported structure fire on Joyce Drive. Crews encountered smoke showing and a fire on the second floor. The incident was upgraded to a working fire, and the fire was quickly knocked down by responding crews.

Riverhead firefighters continued operating at the scene until approximately 8:20 p.m. The Jamesport Fire Department was requested to the scene as the Rapid Intervention Team (RIT), while the Flanders Fire Department provided standby coverage at Riverhead Fire Department Headquarters.

We thank both departments for their assistance and continued mutual aid support.

Honoring the 343: Escorting the Ride Through Riverhead

Today, members of the Riverhead Fire Department had the honor of escorting the FDNY 343 Ride as they traveled through the Riverhead Fire District.

Each year, these riders continue their journey in remembrance of the 343 FDNY firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice on September 11, 2001. We are proud to support their mission and help see them safely through our community.

As long as they continue to ride, the Riverhead Fire Department will be honored to continue escorting them through our District.

We will never forget. 🇺🇸

Never Forget 🇺🇸

Today, members of the Riverhead Fire Department joined our community in remembering and honoring those lost on September 11, 2001.

Our members attended both Riverhead Town’s 9/11 Memorial Ceremony this morning and the Sound Park Heights Civic Association’s annual candlelight walk and remembrance ceremony this evening. We were honored to stand alongside fellow first responders, veterans, town officials, and members of our community to pay tribute to the lives lost, the first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice, and all those whose lives were forever changed that day.

Twenty-five years later, we remain united in remembrance and committed to the promise: Never Forget.
