As the East Hampton Village Fire Department motto says, the Department has been "Making house calls for 125 years". To celebrate, on Saturday morning, Members of the EHFD and other local Fire Departments paraded with their apparatus down East Hampton's Main Street and on to Newtown Lane (past the old Fire House location at 17 Newtown Lane, now Gucci store) for an after-party in Herrick Park. The party offered family fun, including picnic food, drinks, rides and more. Suffolk County Legislator Ann Welker presented Chiefs Duane Forrester, Christopher Hatch and Rory Knight an Anniversary Proclamation from the Suffolk County Legislature. RICHARD LEWIN PHOTOS
