- Hook and Ladder is a local family business operating out of Port Jefferson, New York. We pride ourselves on the success of your occasion! We are owned and operated by a retired FDNY FIREFIGHTER with over 25 years of experience and currently a Captain in the Port Jefferson Village Fire Department. Let me introduce myself my name is Robert Rodriguez, my wife Rose, is a retired pre-school teacher and together we have four boys . We combined our talents and created our business, the Hook and Ladder Party Company.
- Through the Hook and Ladder Company, we are able to host the best Fire Fighter Birthday Parties on Long Island , we also teach Fire Prevention and provide Safety Education to schools, camps and libraries. We truly love what we do and take our job very seriously.
- We arrive with a full scale fire engine and begin each program with a fire safety presentation that meets NYS Section 808 curriculum mandates for fire safety instruction and prevention in school, home and community. Children will then engage in activities that inspire teamwork, perseverance and promote a positive attitude towards solving problems. Children love dressing up in our firefighter gear and competing in our Firefighter Obstacle Course Challenge that includes a dummy rescue, a hose carry and other fun activities. They all get to participate in our state of the art firefighter simulator, where the children use a fire extinguisher to put out a simulated fire. Teams can challenge each other while going head to head with our Bucket Brigade Relay Race.
- Our goal is to provide an enjoyable and educational, hands-on program that allows children to get a perspective of what it means to be a real firefighter as well as learning the importance of fire safety and prevention. Our program provides a fun and developmentally appropriate, learning experience for all children. All activities can be adapted for indoor or outdoor programs.
- Thank you,
- Robert “Captain Rob” Rodriguez
