ENGINE & HOSE COMPANY 2
Engine & Hose Company No. 2 was an original Company formed within the Department when the ‘Central Islip Hook & Ladder & Chemical Engine Company #1’ was disbanded and reorganized as the ‘Central Islip Fire Department’ on May 6, 1929. Membership at the time consisted of 15 members until it was increased to 20 on May 6, 1935. The eventually increased to 25 members, not including Senior Active Members with 20 or more year of service.
Engine & Hose Company No. 2 was originally assigned to the Truck House on East Suffolk Avenue. With the completion of the new Fire House on Carleton Avenue in 1937, the Company moved to this location, and then to Station #2 on Wheeler Road when this building was constructed in 1960.
The first ‘Foreman’ of the Company was Wallace McCrone with John Mueller, Sr. serving as Assistant Foreman. It is unclear who served as additional ‘Foremen’ for the first few years of the Company’s existence. The title of Foreman and Assistant Foreman was changed to that of Captain and Lieutenant for all Companies as of the December 5, 1933 Department Meeting.
