Organized in 1854 as Rescue H & L Co# 1 and General Warren Emergency Co# 2, the HFD provides Fire & Rescue protection to the Village of Haverstraw. Answering an average of 300 alarms annually, their response area includes State Routes 9W & 202 while their marine unit protects the widest part of the Hudson River at 3.5 to 4 miles wide. Operating with five companies, HFD runs a “unyque” blend of apparatus each with their own storied past.
