Food and Comedy Events Help New York Fire Departments

Our local fire companies are back in the new year, looking for your support. Check in at your local firehouse to see how you can help them help your community. Some are holding fundraisers over the next few weeks, and all of them are looking for volunteers.

So many communities count on volunteer fire departments when trouble comes calling. On our roads during an accident or in our homes when we experience an emergency. Find out how you can be a part of the team your town counts on when it matters.
