The '''Briarcliff Manor Fire Department''' ('''BMFD''') provides [[fire protection]] and [[emergency medical services]] to the village of [[Briarcliff Manor, New York]] and its hamlet [[Briarcliff Manor, New York#Neighborhoods|Scarborough]]. The [[volunteer fire department]] also serves unincorporated areas of [[Ossining (town), New York|Ossining]] and [[Mount Pleasant, New York|Mount Pleasant]].((refn|group=nb|Ossining is under a fire protection contract and pays the BMFD to cover an unincorporated area, including election district 20. Ossining paid $123,000 for BMFD service in 2011.<ref name="VillageOverview"/>)) The fire department has three fire companies, two stations, and four fire engines; it also maintains other vehicles, including a [[heavy rescue vehicle]]. The Briarcliff Manor Fire Department Ambulance Corps provides emergency medical transport with two ambulances. The fire department is headquartered at the Briarcliff Manor Village Hall, with its other station in Scarborough, on Scarborough Road.

The Briarcliff Steamer Company No. 1 was founded in 1902 by Frederick C. Messinger. He became the first chief of the department, founded February 10, 1903. In 1906, the Briarcliff Fire Company was established. The village's municipal building and first permanent firehouse was built in 1914 in downtown Briarcliff Manor. Seven years later, in 1921, the Scarborough Fire Company was established. From 1930 to 1971, the [[Archville Fire Department]] was dissolved into Scarborough's fire company, which expanded its fire protection to Archville. In 1936, the Briarcliff Manor Hook and Ladder Company was formed. In 1963, the Briarcliff Manor Village Hall was constructed, again housing the fire and police departments. In 1974, a replacement firehouse was built for the Scarborough Engine Company, and in 2010, Scarborough's firehouse was again replaced, doubling its size.

The fire department has two stations; its headquarters at the Briarcliff Manor Village Hall (housing the Briarcliff fire companies) and another on Scarborough Road (housing the Scarborough Engine Company).<ref name="2007Plan"/><ref name="ScNew"/> The department has approximately 150 members, including a fire chief and two assistant chiefs who are paid nominally and are not village employees.<ref name="2007Plan"/> The department's fire district protects about 8,000 residents, and spans ((convert|5|sqmi)) within Briarcliff Manor and unincorporated portions of the towns of Ossining and Mount Pleasant.<ref name="ScNew">((cite news|last=Nackman|first=Barbara Livingston|title=Scarborough Firehouse Undergoes Upgrade|newspaper=The Journal News|date=November 26, 2009|via=Briarcliff Manor-Scarborough Historical Society))</ref>

=== 1900s to 1920s ===
[[File:FrederickMessinger1914.jpg|thumb|upright|alt=A man in a white coat and fire helmet holding a brass horn|Frederick Messinger, founder]]
[[File:BMFDTruck190501.png|thumb|alt=White horse-drawn fire engine|The department's first fire engine, 1905]]
Frederick C. Messinger (a fireman in [[Kingston, New York|Kingston]] for ten years) and thirteen local men founded the private fire company in 1901, a year before the village was incorporated.<ref name="1977history"/>((rp|page=80)) Thirty-six men became the company's charter members on March 4, 1902, and the company was renamed Briarcliff Steamer Company No. 1 the next month. The company's first equipment was a 1901 hand-drawn chemical apparatus, with a tank containing a mixture of water and [[sodium bicarbonate]]; during a fire, [[sulfuric acid]] was added to propel the solution through the hose. The first apparatus was white, which Messinger thought more visible than the conventional red in a village without street lights;((refn|group=nb|The first 29 street lights, all electric, were installed in 1904.<ref name="1952history"/>)) the village's engines continue to be painted white.<ref name="BMFDhistory"/> The chemical apparatus, which was only suitable for small fires, was supplemented in 1902 with a steam-operated pumper and a hose wagon, both [[horse-drawn]].<ref name="1977history" />((rp|page=95)) [[Walter W. Law|Walter Law]]'s Briarcliff Realty Company owned the equipment and loaned them to the fire company without charge. At the time, the fire company housed its equipment and horses at the [[Briarcliff Farms]]' Barn A (present-day St. Theresa's School) and used the Wheelwright shop as a meeting room and for social events.<ref name="BMFDhistory" />

After the village was incorporated, the company petitioned the village board to form the company into a village fire department. Their request was granted on February 10, 1903. The village counsel advised reorganization in 1906, and the Briarcliff Fire Company was created, with Messinger again serving as Foreman; the equipment was transferred to the new company. In 1908, [[American LaFrance]] sold two horse-drawn vehicles to the department: a hook-and-ladder truck and a two-wheeled hose-and-chemical truck. In the following year an alarm bell was purchased, replacing first a suspended railway iron and sledgehammer in a barn, which was followed by an ineffective [[steam whistle]].<ref name="BMFDhistory" />

The Archville Fire Company had been formed in neighboring [[Archville, New York]], in 1909 as the Archville Fire Department. The Archville department was autonomous, until 1930, when, despite the lack of a formal agreement, the department changed its name to the Scarborough Fire Company and became part of the Briarcliff Manor Fire Department.<ref name="Split" /> In 1972, the company was split into two units, with an autonomous Archville unit and the Scarborough Engine Company, headquartered in the [[Scarborough Presbyterian Church]] garage and a part of the Briarcliff Manor Fire Department.<ref name="BMFDhistory" />

After a large fire at [[Miss Knox's School]] in 1912, the village purchased its first motorized vehicle, an American LaFrance pumper truck.<ref name="BMFDhistory" />((rp|page=95)) The existing hose-and-chemical wagon was motorized and became the chief's car. In 1914, the Briarcliff Manor Municipal Building was constructed to house the government and fire engines, and the department established sub-stations, which were discontinued in 1921.<ref name="SEChistory" />((rp|page=1)) The first major fire to involve the motorized vehicles was in 1916. The hook-and-ladder truck was motorized in 1923 and two years later, the chief's car was replaced. An electric siren was installed in 1928 after a complaint that the previous alarm sounded more like a call to breakfast than an alarm of fire.<ref name="BMFDhistory" /><ref>https://fultonhistory.com/Newspapers%2023/Ossintng%20NY%20Citizen%20Sentinel/Ossining%20NY%20Citizen%20Sentinel%201927/Ossining%20NY%20Citizen%20Sentinel%201927%20-%200255.pdf ((Bare URL PDF|date=March 2022))</ref> In 1928, another downtown fire caused $150,000 in damages to multiple buildings.<ref name="1928fire">((cite news|title=$150,000 Fire in Briarcliff Village|newspaper=The New York Times|page=17|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1928/04/05/archives/150000-fire-in-briarcliff-village.html|date=April 5, 1928|access-date=November 22, 2019))</ref><ref name="1928fire2">((cite news|title=$100,000 Briarcliff Fire Burns Fire Chief's Home|newspaper=The Binghamton Press|page=7|date=April 5, 1928))</ref>

=== 1930s to 1960s ===
During the [[Great Depression]], uniforms were again nonstandard, similar to the early years of the fire department. Another American LaFrance hook-and-ladder truck was ordered in 1930, and another pump truck was purchased from the same company in 1935. Five years later, the pumper truck was sold was replaced with a [[Mack Trucks|Mack]] squad and patrol truck. In 1936, due to a dispute over fire chief elections, the Briarcliff Manor Hook and Ladder Company was formed, separate from the Engine Company.<ref name="BMFDhistory" /> The department ordered a Mack squad and patrol truck in 1939.<ref name="BMFDhistory" />((rp|page=98)) The Hook and Ladder Company waived fees and dues for those enlisted from 1941 onward. During World War II, a large enough proportion of firefighters was serving in the armed forces that the village requested volunteers ages 16–18 to join the Briarcliff Manor Fire Department; at least nine served on active duty. The department received a trailer-type pump unit in 1944; it was loaned to the village by the Office of Civil Defense and was an auxiliary to the existing equipment.<ref name="BMFDhistory" />

After a number of residents expressed the need for an ambulance, the department ordered its first ambulance in July 1945. The ambulance was delivered in 1947 and provided for two bed patients and two stretcher cases. Ossining later purchased the ambulance to start their own ambulance corps. The village purchased all loaned fire equipment in 1946 and purchased a new Mack pumper truck in May 1947.<ref name="BMFDhistory" />((rp|pages=38, 98))((multiple image

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the fire department, the village held a week-long celebration beginning on July 1, 1950. No residents died from a fire within village boundaries until Edna O'Brien in the late 1950s. In 1955, the department purchased a new pumper and a Mack hook-and-ladder truck. The weight of the pumper and ladder trucks ruptured the municipal building's floor, and they were housed in Briarcliff and Ossining garages for five years until the new firehouse and municipal offices building was completed in late 1963. Additional sirens were installed for firemen outside of the central siren's range in the 1950s.<ref name="BMFDhistory" /> During the 1960s the old municipal building's [[cupola]] bell, which the department used as a fire bell and which had tolled at the end of [[the World Wars]],<ref name="1977history" />((rp|page=78)) was moved to the front of the new firehouse.<ref name="BMFDhistory" />
