The Fishers Island Fire District is actively seeking to purchase a residential property on Fishers Island for the purpose of developing employee housing. This initiative is a critical step toward supporting the dedicated firefighters, emergency medical technicians, and essential staff who serve our community year-round.
Why Employee Housing is Essential
Housing availability on Fishers Island has long been a challenge, especially for first responders who need to remain close to the community they protect. Affordable and accessible housing ensures that these vital team members can live on the island, respond promptly to emergencies, and provide the high level of service our residents expect and deserve.
What the District is Looking For
The Fire District is interested in purchasing an existing residential property that can accommodate housing needs for its staff. Properties of various sizes and conditions will be considered, as the District is committed to creating a safe and reliable home for its personnel.
Community Support and Collaboration
The District values its strong relationship with the Fishers Island community and welcomes any leads or suggestions for suitable properties. This project represents an investment in the future safety and well-being of the entire island, ensuring that critical emergency services remain fully staffed and operational.
If you know of an available property or would like to discuss potential options, please contact Fishers Island Fire District Manager Rod Rodriguez at RRodriguez@fishersislandfd.com.
Your assistance in helping us provide housing for those who protect and serve our community is greatly appreciated.
