Fire Department Hosts Annual Parade, Fair

The Huntington Manor Fire Department hosted its annual fireman’s fair and parade in Huntington Station last week. Rides, games of chance and skill, food and drinks were spread across the fairgrounds at Stimson Middle School on Oakwood Road, and a parade marched through town on Wednesday, July 18.

“The chiefs, officers and members of the Huntington Manor Fire Department would like to thank the community for their support in making our annual fair a success,” reads a post to the fire department’s Facebook page. “We would also like to thank our neighboring fire departments for standby coverage and Huntington Community First Aid Squad for providing EMS coverage.

Hope to see everyone next year. Have a happy and safe summer!”
