Bridgehampton Fire Department Hosts Open House

Thu, 05/15/2025 - 13:55

At an E.M.S. open house at the Bridgehampton Firehouse on School Street on Sunday, the Bridgehampton Fire Department will offer lessons in hands-only CPR and the best ways to care for pets in an emergency. There will be refreshments, activities for children, and a chance to meet the department’s crews and check out the ambulances.

It runs from noon to 3 p.m., and there’s more. “With the help of our local law en- forcement friends,” a release says, pet ID cards will be offered, unused and expired medications will be accepted for dispos- al, child safety seats will be inspected, and the use of a drone will be demon-strated. A K-9 unit dog will be on hand.
