The new firehouse will help better serve and protect one of the Hudson Valley's most rapidly growing areas.

If you live in the Fishkill area of Dutchess County as I did for a few years, you might also be a bit confused as to which fire department is YOUR fire department. Fishkill has numerous departments that serve the area and depending on where you live will depend on which department shows up if called.

One of those departments is expanding and has just announced plans to build a brand new fire station that will help better protect folks that live in the northeast portion of the town of Fishkill.

Rombout Fire Department

The Rombout Fire Department is charged with covering many parts of the Fishkill and surrounding areas. Their district headquarters, station #1, is located at 901 Main Street in Fishkill. The firehouse has five apparatus bays with two drive-through bays. It currently houses three engines, heavy rescue, aerial ladder truck, fire prevention trailer, fire police van, boat, and ford expedition utility according to their website.

Station #2 will soon be moved onto Route 52 in Fishkill. The new building plans were made official as a new sign was put up in front of the property where the station will soon be located.
