With summer in full swing the brothers of Bayview Hose 3 took to the water to train on the basics of water rescue. Teaching the new guys how to launch the boat, all the proper equipment needed and a lesson on how to pilot the boat. #wet3 #thunderinthree #swffpd by @thunderinthree213

The officers and members would like to thank Ex Captain Jorge Martinez for his leadership, hard work, and dedication to Bayview Hose Company #3 during the last three years as an officer. Your 🔥 and love for being a firefighter has left a lasting impression on the company and its members. Thank you Ex Captain Martinez! by @thunderinthree213

Sunday hose 3 drilled on working with other department engines. It is important for departments to get familiar with other departments to see how they can operate together when needed. Hose3 worked with the south Hempstead fire department reviewing multiple tactics and operations. The officers and members would like to thank Baldwin fire department and the south Hempstead fire department and we can not wait to work with both departments again. by @thunderinthree213

On Saturday, January 31st, 2026, at 16:32hrs, the Freeport, NY Fire Department was dispatched for reports of a House Fire on West Woodbine Drive, FFD companies quickly responded and transmitted a Signal 10 (Working Fire) a couple minutes later. This brought in many mutual aid departments. FFD along with other departments worked hard to extinguish the flames, and all units went back in service in about two hours. The fire was believed to have started from a dryer which burned out of control. There were no injuries.
