This evening crews ran through scenarios involving Lithium batteries, room and contents fires, hazardous atmospheres with unaccounted victims and ventilation. We are especially thankful to Crown Point Central School for allowing us to use their facilities for training exercises. This not only gives our members a change of scenery but also helps us further develop and adjust our response plans.

Another great training night in the books.

Chief 140, ETA-143 and U-1472 were part of a large Wildland Fire response in the Elizabethtown Fire District this afternoon.

This further demonstrates the importance of adhering to state and local burning bans and regulations. These Wildland fire responses are very resource and manpower heavy and often deplete the county mutual-aid system for other emergencies.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Honorary Member, Robert Lee, better known as Bob. Passing away on Saturday April 18th 2026, Bob was just shy of 11 years as a member.

Since becoming an honorary member in May 2015, he has worn that title loud and proud. A man who lifted the mood when he came into the room , dragging his DSP throughout the station showing them the apparatus , the hall and introducing them to everyone in our firehouse family. Giving the nickname of Mayor to our company president, loudly proclaiming “Firemen” when seeing us at drill, a parade or on a call, leaving us chuckling at his excitement. A voice that will be missed by many , followed by a love of coffee that is hard to replicate, we thank all of his support staff for helping him visit and be a presence in our firehouse. We extend our condolences to our community partners at Mountain Lake Services, in the years where he strongly narrowed his priorities to coffee, sunshine and his friends, they still provided him the best life possible.

We invite everyone to celebrate the Memory of Mr Robert Lee, hosted by his friends and staff from Ferry Road. It will be Sunday May 3rd, from 3pm-5pm at Station 1 on Main Street
