On Sunday March 16, 2008, the City of Glen Cove held it's annual St. Patrick's Day Parade, which ran from the Robert M. Finley Middle School and through the village. The City of Glen Cove Volunteer Fire Department anchored the parade with a strong showing from our volunteer firefighters and neighboring fire departments. Even during times of city events such as the parade, the Glen Cove Volunteer Fire Department is always on duty, as firefighters responded to two separate alarms during the parade route.
