We are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support from our community. The amount of donations, messages, and willingness to help the family has been overwhelming in the very best way. Thank you for showing up the way you always do!

At this time, the family has all the clothing they need.

They are currently in need of totes/bins with lids, which can be dropped off outside the Firehall.

If you’d still like to support them, please continue sharing and contributing through their Amazon Wish List and GoFundMe. Every bit of help continues to make a difference as they navigate the days ahead.

From the bottom of our hearts — thank you. Your generosity, kindness, and support mean more than we can put into words.

Last night HFD responded to a house fire that affected one of our own volunteers & his family.

As immediate needs become known, we will continue to share updates.

They are warm & safe, and we are working to support them in their time of need.

🚑 HFD MEMBERS ATTEND VITAL SIGNS EMS CONFERENCE 🚑

This past weekend, Joe Gonter and Sheila Wilson represented the Holland Fire Department at the Vital Signs EMS Conference, New York State’s premier EMS educational event.

Vital Signs brings together hundreds of EMS professionals—EMTs, paramedics, educators, nurses, and physicians—for a high-impact weekend focused on advancing prehospital care across the state.

Throughout the conference, Joe and Sheila participated in:
• Cutting-edge clinical and leadership education led by top national and regional experts
• Hands-on workshops covering the latest skills, protocols, and technologies
• Continuing education sessions providing NYS CME hours for recertification
• Networking opportunities with EMS providers and leaders from across the region

Their participation helps ensure our department stays current with best practices and continues delivering high-quality care to our community.

Great job, Joe and Sheila. Thank you for your dedication to ongoing training and EMS excellence! 👏

🚜 FARMEDIC TRAINING PARTICIPATION 🚒

This past weekend, Firefighter Joe Youngers represented the Holland Fire Department at the annual FARMEDIC Training, a two-day program focused on responding to emergencies in agricultural settings.

The training brought together responders from across Wyoming County and beyond to review and practice handling farm-related incidents such as fires, chemical spills, medical emergencies, grain bin rescues, and equipment entrapments.

Day two included a presentation on a new farm hazard mapping project in coordination with Wyoming County Emergency Services, Cornell Cooperative Extension, and 4-H, followed by a site tour at Breezyhill Dairy and a hands-on rescue simulation involving two trapped victims.

Thank you, Joe, for your continued dedication to specialized training that helps keep our rural community safe. 👏

🚒 TRAINING ACHIEVEMENT! 🚒

Congratulations to Chief Tim Shaw and Assistant Chief Carol Shaw, both New York State Fire Instructors, for successfully completing the Aerial Operations Instructor Authorization course last weekend! 👏

This advanced instructor certification authorizes them to teach and evaluate firefighters in safe, effective aerial apparatus operations — including positioning, setup, rescue, and elevated stream work.
