Garden City Fire Department is a public-safety organization serving the village of Garden City, New York. Its origins trace to a real estate promotion by Alexander T. Stewart and The Garden City Company, with fire protection provided as part of parcel sales, and staff who served as firefighters in addition to other roles. Today, the department pursues both fire prevention and firefighting, relying on a substantial volunteer cadre organized into four companies. Operating in the public-safety sector, it delivers emergency response and safety education to local residents and property owners. In October 2020, the department partnered with the Russell Child Development Center to help ensure correct child car-seat installation, reflecting ongoing community safety engagements.
