Beginning in the New Year, Floral Park and nearby residents will no longer receive fire or emergency services by the 100-year-old Floral Park Centre Fire Company.

The fire company wrote a letter to residents Wednesday stating that due to several reasons, they will be ceasing operations New Years Eve at 11:59 p.m. The New Hyde Park Fire District and Nassau County Police ambulance will now handle emergency services.

The company cited a lack of staffing and volunteering to it's choice, in addition to, "the prolonged failure of community members not joining the Company." The message also mentioned increased training requirements and costly equipment purchases mandated by state and federal agencies going into their determination.

"Putting all these factors into consideration, the decision was made that we could not continue to provide adequate services to our community/taxpayers," the company said in a statement. "We thank you for letting us provide you with 100 years of service." 

Residents can continue to call 516-742-3300 or 911 for emergencies.
