The vote will be held from 3 to 9 p.m. at the firehouse, located at 1000 Pike St. in Mattituck. This referendum is a result of more than a year of evaluation and meetings with department volunteers following the defeat of the fire district’s initial proposal in June 2022.  The revised plan includes the renovation of the current firehouseas well as the construction of a two-story addition that will be connected to the existing building.
