A Sincere Thank You to Our Community
The Yorktown Heights Fire District Board of Fire Commissioners and the dedicated members of the Yorktown Heights Engine Company #1 wish to extend our deepest gratitude to every voter who came out to support the bond for the Fire House Project. Your overwhelming support is a clear affirmation of your commitment to the safety and well-being of our community.
We are proud to be an all-volunteer agency, and your commitment to this project is a tremendous show of support for the selfless men and women who dedicate their time to protecting our district.
This project is not a luxury; it is a vital necessity to ensure the Fire District can meet the evolving needs required to best serve and protect every resident and business. Updating our facilities is critical for operational efficiency, firefighter safety, and maintaining the high level of emergency response you expect and deserve.
For those who have questions regarding the project—including commonly asked questions, the scope of work, and project progress—we invite you to visit our official website: YHFDistrictNY.org.
Your investment in this project is an investment in the future security of the Yorktown Heights Fire District and the entire community. Thank you, once again, for your incredible support and trust.
