The Southold Fire District is a special taxing district organized under New York State Town Law. The district is governed by a Board of Fire Commissioners, elected by district residents, who oversee the operation and financing of the fire department.

The Southold Fire Department, which serves the district, is a volunteer organization that has been protecting the community since 1886. Our volunteers respond to fire, rescue, and emergency medical calls 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

The district encompasses the hamlet of Southold and surrounding areas on the North Fork of Long Island. Our territory includes residential neighborhoods, farmland, vineyards, commercial areas, and waterfront properties.
