It was another a great night of training! Thanks to all the Departments and agencies who attended!

Our final project, just need to add a few more lights😉!
We are extremely happy with the outcome, it was a big transformation from when the District bought the truck to now! Our 2002 GMC brush truck had served our Department very well for many years, but it was next on the list to upgrade.

Thanks to our Board of Commissioners for their continued support! We worked closely with Brennan GMC in Plattsburgh, Rocks Trailer Sales in Keeseville, and JP signs in Chazy... keeping our business local. Our members worked hard on all the accessory installs, and upgrades.

Lastly, we want to express our gratitude to our extended family at Blue Haven Campground(the activities committee, employees and campers!). With the funds raised last year in the campground for our department, we were able to purchase all the accessories for the truck!!! (Light bar, siren, winch bumper etc.)

Brush truck 215 is in service and available!!

Tonight, we got to finish yet another project we have been working on behind the scenes...this is our "new to us" EMS 217. Like anything in fire and EMS, it took a lot of time and work to make this happen. It is a great addition to our fleet!!

We would like to thank Jonathan McNeil(EMS Captain)and Morgan Arruda(Champlain EMS) for their hard work on this, as well as the members who helped swap it over tonight.

And finally, to the Town of Ellenburg and The Ellenburg Center Fire District/Department~we appreciate the decision to give the ambulance to us, after your new rig arrived. It was a much needed upgrade! Thank you!!

217 is in service and available....! 🚑

At 5:30 this evening, we took delivery of our new Engine 214 from Decorcie /E-One. Members spent the evening getting the truck loaded. At 9:00, it was in service!!
Many thanks to our Board of Commissioners, our district Secretary/Treasurer, and the community for making this possible.
And lastly, thank you to our ladies auxiliary for making us dinner, and to all the members who helped tonight, it's greatly appreciated!
This truck is set up perfectly to serve our district and surrounding areas for many years to come!!

This week, 2 very special people are celebrating their 85th birthday!! Richard and Leona Manor both have served our department and community for over 60 years. Just this week, at approximately 3 am Monday morning we received a call for a motor vehicle accident, and they still choose to respond and help in any way they can! Truly unbelievable....! Happy birthday to you both, and thank you for your continued support and commitment to our organization! 🚒 🔥 🎂 🎉

What a day! Today, we are the E-One factory in Ocala Florida for the pre-delivery inspection of our new engine 214. What an impressive piece of equipment!
Garth Brooks and his team at Decorcie built us a truck that will serve our community for many years to come!
It will be in our station in the next few weeks!
Here is a little walk-around....
