For us here at Coxreels, analyzing individual customer requirements and arriving at the best reeling solution for the application at hand comes naturally.

The pictured reel is no exception. Coxreels designed this spring retractable reel for a client with a maintenance facility filled with custom scaffolding. The reel mounts to scaffolding with clamp style brackets making installation fast and mobile.

The Town of Brookhaven Supervisor Edward P. Romaine; Brookhaven Councilman and Deputy Supervisor Daniel J. Panico; Mastic Beach Mayor Robert Miller; Ambulance Company Chief Charles Voelger; general contractor Stalco Construction’s President Alan Nahmias; and architect, site engineer, and construction manager L.K. McLean Associates’ (LKMA) Associate Christopher F. Dwyer have celebrated the official beginning of construction of the new Mastic Beach Ambulance Company (MBAC) headquarters. The new facility will be located at 343 Main Street (formerly Neighborhood Road) in Mastic Beach, NY, a village in the Town of Brookhaven in Suffolk County.

The Town of Brookhaven Supervisor Edward P. Romaine said, “LK McLean and Stalco Construction have done a great job meeting the needs of the Mastic Beach Ambulance Company with their new headquarters. This will be a well-deserved improvement that we owe to the men and women who sacrifice their time away from home to help save lives each and every day.”

“The two-story, 18,000-square foot new headquarters building will house five drive-through vehicle bays, instead of only three one-way bays in the current facility, allowing for a more efficient emergency response and equipment maintenance operations. In addition, the drive-through design of the bays will further improve the efficiency and safety of operations by allowing the Company to respond out of the building onto both Main Street and Diana Drive. The new building will accommodate up to 15 vehicles and will feature more comfortable EMT volunteer housing, equipment storage, and decontamination facilities,” said Stalco Construction’s President, Alan Nahmias.

“In the predesign phase, the client developed a very specific functional program that had to be accommodated within a set budget,” said LKMA Associate Christopher F. Dwyer. “The local political leadership also insisted on the new building’s design being visually attractive and fitting well into the surrounding residential neighborhood. Our project team not only has achieved both the functional and aesthetic requirements, but also has developed a design that will cost less to build than the originally planned budget.”

The project’s design, construction, and land acquisition were financed through The Brookhaven Town Board-approved $11 million bond resolution in 2016.

The Mastic Beach Ambulance District covers an area of approximately 11.8 square miles, including Fire Island, and stretches from Moriches Inlet to Wavecrest Drive. The MBAC was founded in 1948, as part of the Mastic Beach Fire Department, from which it separated in 1987. Its current facility was completed in 1990. 

The Company currently has 60 active riding volunteers and approximately 30 life members and associate volunteers who do not actively respond to EMS alarms, but assist the company in other ways. The Company’s leadership consists of a seven-member board of directors, three company chiefs, three captains, and two administrative officers. All off

Although the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks occurred before the fifth-graders in Todd Hausman’s class at Bay View Elementary School were born, he wants his students to know how those events changed the world as many Americans knew it. “(It’s really important) to remember 9/11 and make sure that students understand that that was such a significant day in our history,” Hausman said.
