The North Lindenhurst Volunteer Fire Department organized in July 1957, and went into active service on January 1, 1960. The firehouse on Straight Path was constructed in 1958, largely by its members. Over the years, the firehouse has been updated and expanded. The fire department details some of its early history here.
