On June 4, 2013, a public vote was held for a referendum to replace the current (at that time) firehouse with a new building. This referendum was approved by voters allowing the district to build a practical, modern, safer firehouse while eliminating a long list of deficiencies with that firehouse. In September of 2014, the building was razed and property cleared so construction could begin.

In 1953 the firehouse was built and at that time it was the municipal building for the Westhampton Beach Village. It housed the Fire Department, Police Department, and Village Offices. Since then the building has had a few additions and renovations to accommodate all these needs.

The building was humbly dedicated and recognized as the George D Raynor memorial building on May 30, 1970. George Raynor was a Village Trustee, Fireman, and dedicated citizen who died in the line of duty battling a fire in the village.

On June 4, 2013 a public vote was held for a referendum to replace the current firehouse with a new building, which was approved by voters. The new building is practical, modern, safer and eliminated a long list of deficiencies with the old firehouse. The fire district had finalized the plans to start construction.

The fire district also worked on temporary relocation plans for the duration of the construction. We used the Fire District’s storage/maintenance building located at 31 Seabreeze Ave in Westhampton to respond from. A 3 bay storage tent was also constructed to house additional apparatus and gear.

The new State-Of-The-Art Fire House was opened in 2016 and has 5 drive through apparatus bay doors 1 which is front facing, non-drive through. The apparatus floor has more room between trucks for increases member safety, vehicle exhaust system to pull all the vehicle emmissions out of the building, a turnout gear room for members to get dressed in safely and bigger doors for the apparatus.
