A message about Big Buck$ 2021 Featured

Since the COVID-19 pandemic started, all of the publically hosted events at Bayport Fire Department, as well as internal events have been either cancelled, postponed or modified to ensure safety to our members the public as well as to comply with New York State Law.  Last year we were unable to host the Big Buck$ party but were able to broadcast the drawing live. 

While no final decision has been made to cancel this years party, we continue to monitor the pandemic as well as how the current Rules, Regulations and Laws pertain to our party and plan to make a final decision in mid-April of 2021.  In either case, the drawing will still be held at 2 pm on May 16, 2021, and be broadcast live as we did previously. 

Should the party be cancelled, ticket holders will be notified by email, our website, social media and if possible, USPS mail.  

We thank you for your continued support and hope you are staying safe. 

-The Big Buck$ committee.

Message to Bayport Residents

*** FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ***

MARCH 16, 2020

Attention Bayport residents,  

Our crews remain available to respond to emergencies but we are asking you to please follow these precautions during the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) outbreak.

If you are quarantined (mandatory or self-imposed) in your home due to possible or confirmed COVID-19 exposure, PLEASE be sure to specify this to the dispatcher when calling 911 or 631-472-4411 for medical or other emergencies.

We also ask that you place a sign/note on your front door to alert our firefighters to take infection-prevention precautions before entering your home or business.

We need to protect our crews so that they may remain able to meet the emergency needs of our community.

Elsewhere, there have been entire fire companies quarantined after they have responded to quarantined homes and were not alerted before entering. Those first responders are now unavailable to help anyone for at least 14 days.

In our department we cannot afford to have this happen and being volunteers we do not want to have to take it home to our families.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

-Chief Jerry Dietz
