USCG Station Fire Island

USCG Station Fire Island, established in 1849, is located on the southern shore of Long Island, New York. Originally founded as a Life-Saving Service station, it became part of the U.S. Coast Guard upon the organization's creation in 1915. Throughout its history, the station has played a crucial role in maritime safety, search and rescue operations, and maritime law enforcement in the busy waters of the Great South Bay and the Atlantic approaches to New York. Today, USCG Station Fire Island remains an essential asset, supporting both local and national missions, and safeguarding the region’s boating public year-round.
