The Catskill Police Benevolent Association is asking our community to come together in support of Albany Fire Department Battalion Chief Wayne Brennan, the father of one of our own members here at the Catskill Police Department, as well as the City of Albany DGS Supervisor who was also seriously injured in the same incident.
Chief Brennan is an exemplary firefighter who has dedicated more than 30 years of his life to serving and protecting the City of Albany. Both he and the DGS Supervisor suffered significant burn injuries following a recent explosion and now face long roads to recovery.
On Saturday, August 29th, from 2:00–6:00 PM at Fidens Brewing Company in Albany, the Albany Firefighters Cancer & Disability Foundation will host a fundraiser to benefit both Chief Brennan and the injured DGS Supervisor and their families.
For decades, these men have served their community. Now, their community has an opportunity to stand behind them.
We ask our friends, families, fellow first responders, and members of the Catskill community to consider supporting this cause. Whether you make a donation through the link below, share this post, or come out to the fundraiser, every bit of support can make a difference as these men and their families navigate the difficult road ahead.
This one hits especially close to home for us, and we hope our community will join the greater Capital Region and first responder community in showing these families that they do not face this fight alone.
They’ve spent their careers answering the call for others. Now it’s our turn to answer theirs.
📅 Saturday, August 29, 2026
⏰ 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM
📍 Fidens Brewing Company — 897 Broadway, Albany
