See how the Wantagh Fire Department celebrated 125 years of service
The Wantagh Fire Department hosted the Sixth Battalion of Nassau County's annual firefighter parade on Sept. 14, marking a special celebration of their 125th anniversary.
The event, held on Wantagh Avenue, brought together 10 fire departments from the battalion, including Bellmore, North Bellmore, Merrick, North Merrick, Wantagh, Seaford, East Meadow, Levittown, Massapequa, and North Massapequa.
The departments marched from Beltagh Avenue to the Wantagh Long Island Rail Road Station, with crowds lining the streets to cheer on their local heroes. The parade featured both modern fire trucks and vintage fire vehicles, providing a glimpse into the past while celebrating present-day first responders.
This rotating event, which moves to a different department each year, serves as a reminder of the dedication and unity among local firefighters, who work together to protect their communities across Nassau County.
