The current Mastic Beach Fire Department was incorporated in 1935 in Mastic Beach, New York. In the early 1900's Mastic Beach was an uninhabited piece of swampy and wooded land. But since the first bit of development of this district was made, permanent homes and summer camps have been built upon neatly cleared land. With the coming of new people to the area, plans were made regarding the organization of a fire department. At a meeting held in Mastic Beach in the year 1929 the residents who were in favor of the idea of this new fire department chose Jules Jacobs as the head of the department and other temporary officers were appointed. The Brooklyn citizen offered the choice of two lots near Knapp's road section three or two lots near the Mastic Beach club house for the construction of a fire house. Lacking equipment, much had been donated including 21 portable fire extinguishers and three more locations fully equipped for sounding a fire alarm. During the spring and summer of 1930 many benefits were held for the residents with all the proceeds being used towards the development of the new fire department. The start of the Mastic Beach fire Department which would eventually become two fire departments serving one town began at section 1 of Mastic Beach on Lakeview Dr.
It was not long after the formation of this department that it shifted from section 1 in Mastic Beach over to the west end on section 4. The new fire department was developed on Bayview Dr. and Cedar Rd. in Mastic Beach and was called the West End Garage which only housed one truck. There was no meeting hall at this house so all meetings were held at future chief Paul Schulte's tavern just around the street.
Mastic Beach held it's first memorial parade and services Sunday morning for Gen. Nathaniel Woodhull, Revolutionary War hero whose body lies in the little old cemetery in Section 1. There were services at Paul Schulte's Tavern previous to marching. The procession started at the 5 Corners, section 4 at 10:45 AM then proceeded to the cemetery by way of Neighborhood Road, Locust Drive, Aspen Road, and Birch Road. Services were held at the grave with the Rev George Fort of Center Moriches in charge. The parade was led by a police escort comprised of Sergeant George Oakley and Officer Milton Smith, followed by the General Nathaniel Woodhull post Drum and Bugle Corps. Commander William Starr of the Moriches American Legion post, the firing squad, Commander William T. Goyer of the Victory Post veterans of Foreign Wars. Commander Charles Mayer of the Nathaniel Woodhull post V.F.W. past commander M. F Healy of Queens county, chairman John Watrous senior vice commander of Queens county, and past commander of Woodhull Post. Mrs. L. Mayer president of the ladies auxiliary of General N. Woodhull post. A delegation of sons and daughters of Gen N Woodhull post, the Moriches American Legion post, Mrs. Mary Watrous, Queens county chaplain of the Ladies Auxiliary. Past commanders A. W. Link and George Oakley, the Mastic Beach Fire Department led by Chief Frank Rink and Captain Anthony Bonjovi and the West End Fire Company led by assistant chief Frank Haughan and 50 cars decorated for the occasion.
In the 1940's the Mastic Beach Fire Department and the West End Garage finally consolidated and the name West End Garage disappeared. In 1948 the new main house was built on its current location on Neighborhood Rd. in Mastic Beach.
