Today, we honor our brothers and sisters in blue as they celebrate their holiest of holidays. Do you know the difference between a cop and a firefighter? About 20 points on the civil service exam. 🤣

You see, if you pass with flying colors: They give you a helmet, a massive axe, and teach you how to save lives; but if you miss a few questions: They give you a radar gun, a bad attitude, and point you toward the nearest bakery.

Pro Tip: If you're bringing donuts to the firehouse today, please wrap the box in a tarp. If PD catches you walking toward our bay doors with a baker's dozen, they will pull you over for suspicious activity.

🚒 Stay smart, stay safe, and let the boys in blue finish their breakfast in peace.

First off, yes. We know. The social media airwaves have been dead for a week. Did we get trapped in a burning building? No. Did we lose the password to the account? Also no. Our resident "Media Influencer / Keyboard Warrior" was away on a top-secret, highly classified mission (rumor has it he was just testing the nap quality in different ZIP codes, but we can neither confirm nor deny).

But fear not, we have returned to your feed with the fury of a thousand sirens! And just in time, because yesterday was... MONTHLY TRUCK CHECKS. 💦🔧

The fleet is locked, loaded, pristine, and ready to roll out at a moment's notice. 🚒💨

We are officially back on our posting game, the trucks are immaculate, and the social media guy is strictly forbidden from taking vacation ever again.

Stay safe out there, lock your doors, and if you see the big red trucks rolling, just remember: we checked the brakes yesterday, so we probably can stop! (Just kidding, please move over).

Memorial Day is a solemn time to remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. It is NOT a day for you to sacrifice your eyebrows to the grill gods because you wanted to look cool in front of your in-laws.

Have fun. Eat your weight in potato salad. Take a moment of silence for our fallen heroes. But please, if you’re three drinks deep by noon, surrender the tongs to a responsible adult. We just want to finish our own hotdogs at the station without the tones dropping because you thought tossing a rogue sparkler into the dry brush was a fitting, patriotic tribute.

Honor the fallen, respect the fire, and please, stop doing stupid things so we don't have to ruin our weekend to save yours.

Stay safe (and mildly sane) out there,
North Chittenango Volunteer Fire Company

Listen up, you beautiful, chaotic hoarders of North Chittenango:

The sun is out, the birds are screaming, and we know exactly what you’re doing. You’ve cracked open the windows, chugged a lukewarm iced coffee, and decided today is the day you finally purge your garage of its accumulated sins. We applaud your ambition. Truly. But before you unleash absolute mayhem upon your property, your local volunteers have some violently urgent requests:

--- CHEMISTRY IS FOR SCIENTISTS, NOT YOUR BATHROOM: Mixing bleach and ammonia does not make a "super cleaner." Please stop trying to invent new and exciting ways to vaporize your own eyebrows while scrubbing the grout.
--- THE ANCIENT PAINT CANS: Storing 14 half-empty, rusted cans of "Seafoam Green" right next to your overworked, sparking 1998 water heater is basically building an IED in your basement. Throw. Them. Out. (Legally, at a hazardous waste facility. Do not put them in your burn barrel. We will know.)
--- SPEAKING OF BURN BARRELS: The wind out here is acting like it owes somebody money. Your pile of soggy cardboard, dead branches, and mysterious yard debris will achieve liftoff. If your innocent spring cleaning fire decides to "spring" into your neighbor's pine tree, we get to use the big hoses. Do you want your yard remodeled by a pressurized geyser of water? Because we will do it. We want to do it.
--- DRYER LINT IS THE DEVIL'S KINDLING: Clean out your dryer vent. Not just the little fuzzy trap screen. The whole tube. If you don't, your Kenmore is going to turn into an active volcano, and we are going to track so much mud onto your freshly mopped floors while we drag the attack line through your hallway to put it out.

A Final Warning: If you decide to try DIY electrical rewiring in the attic while you're knee-deep in 40 years of dusty newspapers, we will judge you heavily while rescuing you.

Get out there, scrub your baseboards, and make good choices. Our turnout gear is heavy, it’s getting warm out, and we’d really prefer to spend our afternoon sitting on the apron eating a slightly crushed donut instead of chopping a ventilation hole in your roof.

CLEAN RESPONSIBLY. DO NOT MAKE US PUT ON OUR BOOTS. 🚒🧹🔥

Did you spend Tuesday melting into your couch cushions with your AC blasted on max while questioning all your life choices? Cute. We didn’t.

Your favorite slightly-crazy volunteers at Station 66 spent our Tuesday sweating out half our body weight in half bunker gear. Why? Because emergencies don't check the weather app, and fires don't care if it literally feels like the surface of the sun outside.

We were running intense Search and Mayday drills. For those who don't know, that means practicing how to find YOU in the dark, and how to save OURSELVES if things go completely sideways. It was hot. It was gross. Our boots are currently marinating in a special kind of Station 66 swamp water.

Did we complain? Yes, obviously. Did we do it anyway? You bet we did.

05/20/2026

Happy National Bike to Work Day! We here at NCFC take this VERY seriously. In fact, we might have taken it too far.

Did you know that when the pager drops, our volunteers are fully committed to reducing our carbon footprint? That’s right. Today, if you hear a tone drop for a fully involved structure fire, do NOT expect to see the usual fleet of lifted F-150s flying into the station parking lot.

EXPECT CHAOS.
--- EXPECT to see Firefighter Dave pedaling a 1998 Schwinn mountain bike at Mach 3 down Main Street while wearing 65 pounds of full bunker gear.
--- EXPECT to see Gary riding his wife’s Peloton that he somehow welded training wheels onto.
--- EXPECT to see Probie Kevin aggressively riding a pink Razor scooter because his chain broke, and he refuses to miss the truck.

We have strapped Halligan bars to our crossbars. We have duct-taped SCBA air cylinders to our water bottle cages. We do not have mechanical sirens on these bicycles, SO WE WILL BE SCREAMING "WEE-WOO WEE-WOO" AT THE TOP OF OUR LUNGS AS WE DRAFT BEHIND YOUR MINIVAN.

⚠️ A STERN WARNING TO DRIVERS:
If you look in your rearview mirror and see a blur of neon yellow reflective striping, an oversized helmet, and a heavily breathing volunteer violently mashing the pedals of a ten-speed Huffy... YIELD THE RIGHT OF WAY. Pull to the right!

Do we have any physical energy left to actually fight the fire once we arrive at the station to get in the rig? NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT. Our quads are completely destroyed before we even smell the smoke! We are severely oxygen-deprived! But Mother Nature is healing!

Stay safe out there, check your tire pressure, and for the love of God, DO NOT clip the Chief. He is riding a tandem bike completely by himself, he is wearing his Class A uniform, and his center of gravity is severely compromised.

05/19/2026

Happy Tuesday, everyone. It’s Drill Day, which means your local accountants, plumbers, and baristas are currently caffeinated to illegal levels and gearing up to fight imaginary demons in our training yard.

Have you ever wanted to see a donated 1998 Honda Civic get aggressively dismantled by the Jaws of Life while a guy named Earl screams about leverage? Today is your lucky day.

We are formally inviting you to come down to the station this evening to watch the chaos unfold.

⚠️ OFFICIAL DEPARTMENT WARNING:
If you make eye contact with the Recruitment Officer for longer than 4.5 seconds, we will physically put you in bunker gear and hand you an application. Resistance is futile. We need people who can lift heavy things and tolerate the smell of wet soot.

Come hang out, ask questions, and watch your neighbors practice saving lives by causing massive, sanctioned property damage.

Listen up, Betty Crocker. We love a good snickerdoodle as much as the next crew, but before you start whipping up culinary masterpieces today, we need to lay down some ground rules.

Bake boldly. Bake beautifully. But please, for the love of all that is holy, bake responsibly. Have a fire extinguisher nearby, double-check that you actually turned the oven off, and remember:

We love you, we are here for you, but we absolutely do not want to see you today.

Stay safe out there, weirdos! 🚒🚨👨‍🚒

🚨🔥 HAPPY INTERNATIONAL FAMILY DAY! 🔥🚨

Today we are celebrating FAMILY. And by family, we mean the people biologically forced to tolerate us, AND the people we choose to sit in a sweaty metal box with while driving 70mph towards danger!

To Our Spouses: Thank you for not changing the locks when the pager goes off at 3:14 AM for an "unknown odor" that ends up being someone microwaving broccoli. Thank you for accepting that our dinner dates will ALWAYS be interrupted by someone who doesn't know how to safely operate a backyard fire pit. We love you more than the Jaws of Life.

To Our Kids: We are so sorry we missed your middle school graduation because a rogue gender reveal party set a field on fire. You are our entire world. Please stop asking if you can ride on the roof of the engine, the answer is still no (unless mom isn't looking).

To The "Fire Family": Look. I spend more time with Fire Chief Flynn than I do with my own wife. I have seen Flynn eat a 3-day-old meatball sub off the dashboard of the rig at 4 AM after a brush fire. I have watched him cry because the station Keurig broke. That is a bond thicker than blood and Class B firefighting foam.

To The Community: You are our extended family! Yes, even the guy on 4th Street who calls us every single holiday because he forgot to thaw his meat and tries to deep-fry a literal block of ice. We see you. We judge you a little bit. But we will always show up to save your siding.

If you need us today, we will be at the station pretending to wash the rigs but actually just screaming at each other over who ate the last powdered donut in the breakroom. 🍩😡

STAY SAFE, HUG YOUR LOVED ONES, AND FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, PLEASE CHECK THE BATTERIES IN YOUR SMOKE DETECTORS. 🚒💨
