Atlantic Hook & Ladder Co.1

Atlantic Hook & Ladder Co.1 was the first organized fire company in Port Washington. AH&L operates out of two firehouses; their main headquarters on Carlton Avenue, and their Annex building located on Avenue A in the Terrace section of town. The mascot for Co.1 is known as the "Rowdy."

AH&L operates with seven pieces of apparatus, each with a unique numerical distinction. As a "truck company," Atlantic Hook & Ladder utilizes five firetrucks. Firetrucks include: a 95' Ladder Tower (8517), a 110' Aerial Ladder (8516), a Heavy Rescue (8522), a Light/Rehab Unit (8518), and a newly purchased 109' Aerial Ladder (8519). Also, Atlantic Hook & Ladder owns two utility vehicles, a passenger van (8520) and a pickup truck (8523). All seven units are cleaned, checked, and maintained by the members of Co. 1.
