This week, our members trained on vehicle fire operations. Vehicle fires can escalate quickly and present unique hazards, making regular training essential to ensuring our firefighters are prepared to respond safely and effectively when called upon.

Interested in serving your community? The Kent Volunteer Fire Department is always looking for volunteers to help keep our department 100% volunteer. Stop by any Tuesday night at 7:00 PM to learn more about joining!

**ELEVATED FIRE RISK**

Late Monday morning into early Monday evening, the combination of drying fine fuels, southwest wind gusts between 25 and 30 mph, and relative humidity values between 25 and 35 percent will contribute to an elevated risk of fire spread for the Lower Hudson Valley, New York City and northern and western portions of Long Island.

This forecast considers meteorological, fuel, and land conditions and has been developed in coordination with state fire and land management officials.

As a reminder, the annual statewide burn ban remains in effect until May 14. No burn permits are issued. Use extra caution if handling any potential ignition sources such as machinery or matches and ensure to properly extinguish or dispose of cigarette butts. Please refer to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation website for more information on burn restrictions.

On April 15, 2026, Commissioner Barry Sanel and Chief Brennon Frowd, joined by members of our department, had the honor of receiving a generous donation from the Chuang Yen Monastery in support of the purchase of our new utility vehicle.

We are incredibly grateful for their continued generosity and support of our department. The strong relationship we share with the monastery is something we truly value, and partnerships like this help us better serve and protect our community every day.
