Thursday, June 18th, was a busy day for our volunteers, responding to multiple emergencies throughout the day including fire, rescue, and EMS responses; many of which occurred simultaneously. After a storm system blew through town, our crews worked together with the Cooperstown Police Department, Village of Cooperstown DPW, Otsego County Highway Department, Town of Middlefield Highway Department, NYSEG, Springfield Fire Department, to respond to multiple hazardous situations. Through teamwork and collaboration, we were able to ensure public safety and respond to all calls for assistance throughout the day. Without a dedicated team of volunteers, this wouldn’t be possible. Consider joining your local fire department or emergency response organization to see how you to can help your community.

We would like to extend our greatest thanks to Joe Strauss of Spectrum, who presented us with a grant opportunity for $1,000 for Personal Protective Equipment! Mr. Strauss stopped in on our drill and meeting night on 27 May to personally present it to the Department. Thank you, Mr. Strauss!

Yesterday morning, we had the honor of attending three parades in recognition of Memorial Day.

As we near the eve of the 250th anniversary of our nation's founding, we celebrate who we are as a people; diversity, inclusion, freedom, and the right to be who we each individually are. Simultaneously, we recognize these and other foundational principles that forged our great American nation were not the sole culmination of long letters written to the King of England, but rather the sacrifices in blood, passion and perseverance set forth by ordinary Americans from the first shot at Lexington and Concord, all the way through to our present day. In each successive conflict from our first, our brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents have been willing to, and have, sacrificed themselves and everything they hold dear for the guarantee of our tomorrow, without having met everyone they gave that next day to. We recognize and honor them for their sacrifices for our today, tomorrow, and our future; and we hope that yesterday you did the same, and continue to remember the brave and selfless soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen laid to rest in the name of the American people.
