Our Thoughts Are With Battalion Chief Wayne Brennan

The members of the Guilderland Fire Department extend our thoughts and prayers to Battalion Chief Wayne Brennan following yesterday’s tragic explosion.

We are keeping Chief Brennan, his family, and all of our brothers and sisters of the Albany Fire Department in our hearts during this difficult time. We wish him strength, healing, and a full recovery, and hope for comfort and resilience for everyone affected by this incident.

The fire service is one family. When one of us is injured in the line of duty, we all stand together.

Please join us in keeping Battalion Chief Brennan, his loved ones, and the members of the Albany Fire Department in your thoughts and prayers.

💙 A Heartfelt Thank You to Hamilton Union Presbyterian Church 💙

After a long day responding to storm-related emergencies throughout our community, our firefighters were blessed with an incredible act of kindness.

The members of Hamilton Union Presbyterian Church generously delivered BBQ chicken dinners to our crews, providing not only a wonderful meal but also a much-appreciated reminder of the amazing community we have the privilege to serve.

Small acts of kindness like this mean more than you know. Your generosity helped keep our firefighters fueled and encouraged as they continued responding to calls throughout the day.

From all of us at the Guilderland Fire Department, thank you for thinking of us and for your unwavering support of first responders. We are truly grateful to have neighbors like you.

❤️🚒 Thank you, Hamilton Union Presbyterian Church, for taking care of those who serve our community.

This morning, Guilderland Fire Department members responded to Hamilton Parc after receiving a report of a storm drain overflowing in front of the building, with water threatening to flood the basement apartments.

Engine 27 and Squad 23 worked together to assess the situation, develop a plan, and successfully alleviate the water issue before it could cause damage to the building.

Incidents like these are a great reminder that not every emergency involves fire. Our members are ready to respond to a wide variety of situations to help protect our community, property, and residents.

Thank you to everyone on scene for their quick thinking and teamwork. 🚒💪

The Guilderland Fire Department is currently operating at multiple emergency calls throughout our district.

If you’re traveling this morning, please slow down, stay alert, and use extra caution on the roadways. Our firefighters and other emergency responders may be working in or near traffic, and your patience helps keep everyone safe.

When you see emergency lights:
🚒 Move over whenever possible.
🚒 Slow down and give responders plenty of room to work.
🚒 Avoid distractions and watch for personnel, apparatus, and changing traffic patterns.

We appreciate your patience and support as our members continue serving the community. Please help us protect those working to protect you.

Stay safe, Guilderland. ❤️💛

Have you ever wondered why Yellow fire trucks are superior? It’s just science. 🚒💛

• Easier to see in daylight.
• Easier to see at night.
• Easier to see in bad weather.
• Easier to spot when the red trucks are parked in the repair bay. 😏

Meanwhile, red truck guys will spend the next three hours explaining “tradition” while the yellow truck crew already got there.

Don’t worry, red truck fans… we will still wave 👋 as we pass you. 😉🔥
