Pink or a Purpose!
This October, BHFD joins departments nationwide in supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
With pink in our uniforms, pink gloves, and pink stretcher sheets, we’re proud to stand with those fighting, surviving, and those in remembrance.

October 2025 "Taxpayer" Drill!
Last week, the Bridgehampton Fire Department participated in a live drill simulating a fire
in a “taxpayer” – a structure with commercial units on the ground floor and apartments above.
We appreciate Suffolk County Fire Academy for providing the training,
giving our crews the opportunity to practice coordinated operations,
search and rescue, and ventilation techniques under realistic conditions.

September 2025 Training - Fire Drill
Before this Water Mill home was demolished, we had the chance to simulate a full-scale structure fire, with smoke, search and rescue operations, and fire suppression.
Our quint (7-2-1) was first due, gaining entry and initiating the search, while our engine (7-2-2) and pumper (7-2-3) stretched lines and quickly made entry.
Fire Police secured the scene, while EMS personnel and firefighters worked together to navigate a tight driveway using our Polaris, bringing a mock-patient dragged from the home in cardiac arrest to the waiting ambulance.
We extend our gratitude to caretaker Rich Simmons and the family of Suzanne and John Golden, on whose property the drill was held, for making the space available so we could train like it’s real.
