Welcome to the Nassau County Fire Commission website.

The Fire Commission is comprised of the Fire Marshal’s Office, the Bureau of Fire and Rescue Services (FireCom) and the Fire-Police EMS Academy.

The mission of the Nassau County Fire Commission is to protect the Citizens of Nassau County and to assist the 71 County fire departments by providing highly professional and cost effective fire safety services including Fire Investigation, Fire Inspection, Hazardous Material Response, Emergency Dispatching and Emergency Medical Response Training, thus making Nassau County one of the safest counties in the country.

It is the Fire Commission’s vision, that through our efforts in aggressive inspection programs, through fire investigation’s, a dedication to public fire safety education and an efficient fire communications center, that Nassau County will be a safe place to live, work and visit.  It is also our hope that with a thoroughly trained and state of the art fully equipped hazardous materials response team and a knowledgeable and dedicated Emergency Medical Academy staff the Nassau County Fire Service will be able to perform their duties in a safe and professional manner.

The Fire Commission is dedicated to providing the best possible service to the citizens of Nassau County.  The nine divisions within the Fire Commission work both independently, and collaboratively to insure the public’s safety both on a proactive and reactive basis.  The Fire Commission offers a wide breadth of services; from reviewing plans on fire suppression systems, to performing fire safety inspections, to responding to incidents involving hazardous materials, to providing dispatch service to the County’s Fire Departments and Ambulance Corps, to providing quality Emergency Medical Training services.
