Introduction
Highland Hose Company Number 5 is a volunteer fire company located in Nyack, New York. Our company was founded in 1895 when it was determined by the residents of Nyack that the hill section of Nyack required it's own Company and hose cart for fire protection. Highland Hose Co. No. 5 is a member of the eight Company Nyack Fire Department, and of the Nyack Joint Fire District.
Highland Hose proudly exists in it's Company owned building, with it being one of only two buildings that the Company has ever occupied. The 1910 building with it's 1984 addition is operated and maintained by Company fundraising. The interior with it's tin ceilings, wide wooden paneling, and horizontal sliding door in the antique truck bay are all original and are a tribute to the men and women who have made up the Company membership past and present.
