Tuxedo Park Volunteer Fire Department

The Tuxedo Park Fire Department (TPFD) was founded in 1901. TPFD are an all-volunteer fire department comprised of approximately 20 members augmented by their fellow fire departments in Eagle Valley and Sterling Forest and neighboring communities. They are on-call 24 hours every day of the year to serve and respond to protect our community. 

TPFD deploy three trucks and members are fully equipped and trained to perform pumper, ladder as well as rescue operations; hence their motto, "We Do It All". They respond to approximately300 incidents each year; including such incidents as structure fires, brush fires, vehicle accidents on local roadways and on the New York State Thruway, gas leaks, electrical hazards, water rescue, downed trees and community service calls. All members maintain response-readiness through continuous and regular hands-on drills and classroom training.  

TPFD are actively seeking volunteers for both firefighting and department management. Any person residing in the set boundary of the Town of Tuxedo, the Village of Tuxedo Park or the Tuxedo Joint Fire District who has attained the age of 16 years or older (and not convicted of a felony or the crime of arson in any degree) is eligible to apply for membership. 

TPFD are also appreciative of any financial support you can provide to help fund improvements to their firefighting capabilities and their firehouse. They are a 501(C)(3) organization so your donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
