Send Us News of Your Department

The Fire News is looking for stories and photographs from your department. We not only print stories about fires and motor vehicle accidents, but are also looking to publicize your training sessions, drills, weddings, and obituaries. In addition, we are planning special features: Up Close and Personal (shots of individuals), Family Corner (pictures showing family members in the same department), and Motley Crews( informal buddy shots).

We accept photos from departments, “buffs,” and professional photographers, who may wish to query the editor about our rates. Photos and captions may be sent by e-mail to Long Island : Chuck@FireNews.com   New Jersey : NJ@FireNews.com  New York State : NYS@FireNews.com or by regular mail to Fire News, 146 South Country Road, Bellport, NY 11713.

E-mail photos should be sent as jpg’s at 300 dpi. We prefer photos showing firefighters or EMS providers in action. Captions should include all the information pertinent to the incident: location, date, time, department(s) responding, chief in charge, mutual aid providers. The deadline for editorial material is the first of each month. We also encourage photos showing other aspects of department life: weddings, installations, honors, obituaries. Captions should contain all the pertinent information of the incident: location, date, time, department(s) responding, chief in charge, mutual aid providers. The deadline for editorial material is the tenth of each month.

Most captions should be written in the past tense; after all, you are reporting on an event that already happened. Announcements should be written in the future tense. We like to use the full title of officers, such as “First Lieutenant Joe Smith,” and the full name of the department, such as the “Hannibal Fire Company.”

Letters to the editor should be signed, with a return street or e-mail address.

We look forward to hearing from you.
