The Fire Department will also move from a shared frequency that multiple departments use to receive calls and communicate with the dispatcher on their own frequency. These state-of-the-art devices provide superior transmission speed and clarity because they are positioned at various high points with little or no obstruction. To dramatically improve the department’s communications capability, Nassau County Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton (D-Glen Cove) secured $75,000 in county funding to purchase radio repeaters for the entire district. Yet, radio reception in the district is still poor because of its topography and the fact that PWFD covers 11 square miles and the waters surrounding Port Washington. Of course, radios and cell phones now make communications between departments and its members easier.
For more than 100 years, the Port Washington Fire Department has responded to fire emergencies throughout the peninsula.
