Newtown Fire Department history:
The first fire company was organized in Newtown in September 1843 under the name of Wandowenock Hook and Ladder Company No. 1. A plot of land on which formerly stood a gun house belonging to the Washington Blues, a town military company, was given by the Town as a site for a fire house. Later it grew to 13 companies which fought fires and protected the life and property of the residents of Newtown, Elmhurst, Corona, Woodside, Glendale, Ridgewood, Maspeth, Middle Village and Winfield for more than 70 years. Wandowenock Fire Company in 1843 was No. 1. The organization of other companies followed. Company No. 2 was the Gooderson Engine Co. In Winfield in 1862 – the Woodside Hook & Ladder was No. 3 in 1878 – The Maspeth Engine Co. on Grand Avenue was No. 4 in 1888 – Maspeth Hook & Ladder on Perry Avenue was No. 5 in 1889 – Pioneer Hook & Ladder in Corona was No. 6 in 1890 – Fearless Fire Co. in Middle Village was No. 7 in 1890 – Louona Park Engine Company was No. 8 in Corona – Glendale Engine Co. at Cooper and Myrtle was No. 9 – Ivanhoe Park section of Glendale was No. 10 – Elmhurst Engine Co. was No. 11 in 1896 – Metropolitan Engine Co. at Forest and Metropolitan in Ridgewood (then called E.Williamsburgh) was No. 12 in 1903 – and the last company to join was Glendale Park Hook and Ladder in 1903 No. 13. It was located on the south side of Myrtle Ave. near what is now 89th Street.

LT WILLIAM M. HEALY, ENGINE 286, NOVEMBER 10, 1971 1972 HOLY NAME MEDAL
LT Healy was awarded the 1972 Holy Name Medal for heroic duty performance rescuing two boys trapped at Queens Box 75-4577.
CAPTAIN PAUL A. MILLER ENGINE 286 JANUARY 28, 2013 20NOVEMBER 10, 197114 UFO MEDAL
Uniformed Fire Officers Association Medal
CAPTAIN PAUL A. MILLER DIVISION 13 (ASSIGNED ENGINE 286 (DETAILED)
January 25, 2013, 0136 hours, Box 75-5122, Queens
Appointed to the FDNY on October 27, 1996. Previously assigned to Ladder 48 and Engines 289, 16 and 307. Now assigned to Ladder 142. Great-grandfather, FF Edward Lehmkuhl (now deceased), was retired from Engine 79. Member of the Steuben Association. Recipient of the William F. Conran Medal in 2005 and the Daily News Hero of the Month, March 2013. Holds an Associate degree in Criminal Justice from Suffolk County Community College and a BS degree in Fire and Emergency Services from John Jay College. Resides in Centereach, Long Island, with his wife, Eileen, and their daughters, Grace and Erin.
The run came in during the early-morning hours of January 25, 2013. Queens Box 5122 was turned out at 0136 hours for a reported fire in Glendale, Queens. On arrival, Captain Paul Miller Miller and the members of Engine 286 were confronted with heavy fire blowing out the second floor on the exposure #2 side of the building. Captain Miller promptly transmitted the 10-75 for a heavy fire condition on the second floor of a two-story, class 4, private dwelling. He ordered the nozzle team to start stretching a hoseline to the fire building. The Captain raced into the building and was informed by exiting residents that their elderly father was still up on the second floor in the apartment and oxygen tanks were present. As the members of Engine 286 continued their line placement, Captain Miller reached the second floor to find that the apartment door was open and exposing the hallway. He donned his mask and made an attempt to crawl into the fire apartment. As he entered, he turned left and found a fully involved room with fire extending into the living room. He tried to close the door to this bedroom, but attempts were unsuccessful because the fire had burned through the door. At this time, Captain Miller heard a transmission from the control Firefighter that the hydrant was frozen and the engine company chauffeur (ECC) quickly gave a signal 10-70 to the dispatcher. At this time, the Captain ordered FF Frank Mitchell, the ECC, to supply booster water as soon as possible. Without the protection of that hose-line, Captain Miller still crawled past the fire, deeper into the living room, to conduct his primary search. Conditions were punishing, as he proceeded under the high heat and near-zero visibility. As he made his way through, he found the elderly man, unconscious and slumped over on the couch in the prone position. After transmitting a 10-45 via the handie-talkie, Captain Miller began to remove the victim toward the apartment door, shielding him from the flames, as they went back past the fire room. The victim then was passed off to FFs Daniel Haase, Engine 286, and Christopher Magas, Ladder 142--the nozzle team--who then handed the victim off to FF Pablo Vargas, Ladder 135, who removed him to the street and into the care of EMS personnel. Captain Miller then proceeded to move into the fire apartment with the team to extinguish the rapidly extending fire. “Captain Miller, having knowledge of water problems and with no hose-line in position, forged ahead into the fire apartment,” stated Battalion Chief Christopher Joyce, Battalion 28. Deputy Chief Patrick Clifford emphasized, “The extenuating circumstances of a frozen hydrant (10-70 transmitted), the cold and windy conditions (10 degrees Fahrenheit) and the fast-moving fire in a frame building only added to the arduous effort it took to accomplish this rescue.” Thanks to Captain Miller’s brave actions, including passing fire twice, a man in dire circumstances was rescued. Thanks to his efforts and the quick thinking and aggressive actions of Engine 286 and Ladder 135, the victim survived. In recognition of his heroism, the City of New York, the New York City Fire Department and his peers in the 13th Division and Citywide recognize Captain Paul A. Miller with the Uniformed Fire Officers Medal.
