Sleepy Hollow Fire Department

The town of Sleepy Hollow, New York has a wonderful gem to visit – its Sleepy Hollow Fire Department. If you love the nostalgia of fire trucks, Halloween, and/​or the story of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow – this is the place to check out! Their truck is the coolest one we’ve ever seen – painted orange and black with flaming jack-​o-​lanterns and the Headless Horseman. The window over the front door is a beautiful stained glass rendition of the horseman himself.
I teach English and this year taught a unit on Washington Irving’s story, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. While in the actual location of the story, we had been looking for souvenirs and cool places to take photos. I saw a local fireman at a red light and asked if I could take a photo of his Sleepy a Hollow decal. I said, «You should sell t-​shirts because I would buy one!» And he said,“We do! Let me meet you at the station.” How lucky we were: they opened the doors to the garage and rolled out their amazing truck to share with our family – one of the firemen even gave us a tour and recited some of the famous local legend. Our kids were so excited!
The t-​shirts and hats are awesome, too! They have the Headless Horseman decal as well. Thank you for the gifted hat to my little boy, he was smiling ear-​to-​ear!
This event was the highlight of our cross country trip from California and we will never forget! Thank you for giving us a memory we will never forget!!!
