From our frontline Firefighters, to our support members we are committed to providing the highest levels of service possible.
"The mission of the HMFD is to be the leading force in the provision of fire and rescue services through our commitment to professionalism, superior training, advanced skill development and superior service."
For more than 90 years, your Halfmoon Firefighters and EMT’s have bravely and successfully confronted the hazards of our growing community and continue to mitigate complex life-safety problems through risk management, strategic planning, methodical deployment, aggressive, but disciplined fire attack and rescue philosophy. We provide a broad spectrum of both emergency and non-emergency services to the citizens and visitors of our community.

I am proud to represent such a fine organization. I am impressed on a daily basis with the professionalism, dedication, integrity, and resourcefulness of the men and women of our Department and the commitment to the citizens, visitors, and businesses of our community. As the Halfmoon Fire Department moves into our next 100 years of service, we will continue to seek ways to rethink how we provide our service in an effort to be more efficient, more adaptable and more responsive to the needs of our community.
It is our commitment to you that we stand ready to assist you in your time of need day or night, with respect, professionalism, empathy, and compassion. As we have done for the past 95 years.
