The Patchogue Ambulance Company celebrated its 90th anniversary with a gala dinner at Villa Lombardi's in Holbrook.
“Their longevity and success is a testament to their dedication and service,” said Suffolk County Legislator Dominick Thorne.
The year was 1934 when a small group of firefighters from the Patchogue Fire Department decided to start a separate ambulance company. The decision to form this ambulance service was solidified following a massive accident at an industrial mill.
“Thank you to the membership for their hard work and dedication,” said New York State Assemblyman Joe DeStefano.
The Patchogue Ambulance Company responds to more than 3,400 emergency calls per year.
