Gainesville Annual dinner

04/16/2026

As part of the annual RecruitNY statewide initiative, the select Wyoming County Fire & EMS departments will open their doors so residents can learn how they can serve their communities.

Throughout the weekend, departments may conduct tours of the station and apparatus, demonstrate activities, provide information, and address questions on becoming a member. These activities give visitors a taste of what it means to be in the volunteer service. Volunteer first responders will also be on hand to discuss the requirements and rewards of joining. All are welcome and encouraged to attend, including families with children.
