To Request the Fire Department to conduct a Controlled Burn:

Effective November 2009 the NYS DEC has passed a law of no open burning. The law may allow the fire department to conduct controlled burns as a training exercise; however, not all situations are covered under the new law. If interested, please contact the Fire Chief.

Need a Fire Extinguisher Filled:

Please stop by the Fire House and check to see if your extinguisher qualifies for a free refill. If unable to leave your home, contact the Fire Chief for pick up. Free refills qualifications must show the use associated with an emergency fire.

Ongoing Events:

• Pancake Breakfasts are held the second Sunday at the Fire House from October through March of each Year
• Gun Raffle held in September of each Year
• Turkey Raffle (if held) Saturday before Thanksgiving
• Occasional community fundraisers to help support continuing training and equipment
