Firefighters battling a fire

A Message from the Fire Coordinator

Well summer is over and fall is upon us:

As we gear up for cooler weather we need to start focusing on chimney fires, lost hunters and other heating emergencies.

Fire Prevention Week is October 6-12 with a theme of “Smoke alarms: Make them work for you!”

The Recruitment and Retention Task Force “Join Sullivan Fire” has been busy working to gain new members for the Fire Service here in Sullivan County. The Task Force will be at the Highland Lake Firehouse on October 6th for an open house and at the Summitville Firehouse on October 13th for an open house. The Task Force will also be at the Sullivan West School and Livingston Manor School for Career Days.

Fire Reports;   We only have 3 months to go until the end of the year so please make every effort to keep up with the reports to get 100% reporting again this year.  If you are having trouble with the reports, please contact BC-3 Jack Halchak he can assist you.

There are currently several courses going on here at the training center. We are working on the winter courses that will be scheduled soon.

Reminder that the training center is available for individual or joint  fire department use, please if interested contact the training center at least 2 weeks prior to use.

Thank you, Be Safe
