Ladder Company #2
By the spring of 1956, Chief Dominick Santoro could see a transformation taking place in East Meadow. What was once a patchwork of farms was now blossoming into Nassau County’s largest suburban community. He convinced the Board of Fire Commissioners that an additional fire company was needed on the north side of the district to protect the volume of new homes, and he had just the place to put it.

Our History
In 1951, the East Meadow Fire Department had just opened a new firehouse on Newbridge Road in response to the rapid growth of residential construction in Levittown. As completion of the new suburb drew near, builders Levitt & Sons looked to the west, developing the Bowling Green section of Westbury.
