The health and safety of our citizens, employees and the communities we serve are our top priority. We want you to know we are fully prepared to respond to all emergencies.
As part of our emergency plan, we are canceling all public events for the foreseable future. Our employees, volunteers, and staff will follow appropriate social distancing and hand-washing guidelines to help mitigate the spread of the coronavirus, and will wear appropriate protective gear when deemed necessary.
We are in close communication with other fire departments in our county, and won't hesitate to ask them if their help is needed. Likewise, we are available to help other communities if the need arises.
Thank you for your patience and know that we are working hard to serve you.
As of April 2019, a NY law requires all battery-operated smoke detectors sold in our state to be the sealed, NON-REMOVABLE 10-Year-battery-type of smoke alarm. We strongly encourage you to replace your old smoke detectors with these new, low-maintenance 10-year, sealed detectors. Since you won't have to remember to replace the battery each year, these new 10-year sealed alarms will likely save thousands of lives! Remember: you should have at least one smoke detector on every level of your home!

There is a BURN BAN (no open burning outdoors) in Sullivan County from March 16 to May 14. Springtime can often mean a deficit of rainfall, and if the groundcover becomes dry, it can catch fire quickly and burn out of control. Please help keep our community safe! Check back for updates from NYSDEC.
In February 2010, a law went into effect in New York requiring every home (single-family, multi-family, AND condos, co-ops, and apartments, etc.) to have an approved, operational carbon monoxide detector installed regardless of the date of construction or date of sale.
