A Message from the Fire Coordinator
Welcome to November, we are having extremely unusual warm, dry weather. We are currently in a drought Watch and a NYS wide BURN BAN until November 30th.
We have had a lot of wildland fires along with our normal calls. Thank you to everyone for working hard to help control these fires and cover other areas.
When the weather changes we need to gear up for some different challenges, ice and snowy roads, chimney fires and other heating emergencies, CO calls and lost hunters. We need to be ready.
Fire Reports, Please make every effort to keep up with the reports we have 2 more months left to the year, let’s get 100% reporting. If you are having trouble with the reports please contact BC-3 Jack Halchak he can assist you.
Training courses, we have several course scheduled and are working on the winter courses.
Reminder that the training center is available until the middle of December for individual or joint fire department use, please if interested contact the training center at least 2 weeks prior to use.
Healthiest Fire Department Challenge: The countdown has started, 2 months left to join the Sullivan 180 Healthiest Fire Department Challenge starting January 1, 2025. Our brave Firefighters of Sullivan County give so much, let’s take that step to help make it healthier and safer for them. If you haven’t registered yet there is still time. Please give Sullivan 180’s Outreach Coordinator Lindsay Wheat a call at 845-295-2683 or email Lindsay@sullivan180.org to set up your department meeting and register.
