The annual parade, organized each year by the Eaton's Neck Fire Department along with the Property Owners of Eaton's Neck Beach, Inc. will step off from the firehouse at 10 AM on Thursday, July 4. If you're able, please support our Food Drive by depositing non-perishable food items in the collection bin that will be located outside the firehouse picnic area. All items will be delivered to the Ecumenical Lay Council of Northport Food Pantry by volunteer members of the Eaton's Neck Fire Department.

The Eaton's Neck Fire Department will open its doors to area residents on Saturday, May 4 between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM, so they can learn about what it takes to be a volunteer firefighter in their community as part of the annual RecruitNY statewide initiative. Over the last several years, it has been very tough for many fire departments throughout New York State to recruit and retain volunteers for a variety of reasons.
