Last night some of our members had a chance to attend the first firefighters gala sponsored by Saratoga County Officers Association to benefit county firefighters who are battling cancer. What a great night. There first event raised over $10,000. Which will go directly to firefighters in our county in need. Cant wait till next year. I have to say our firefighters clean up well.

What a day today Waterford and Northside FD participated in a NYS Training class Tactical Simulation where we got to play on computers with x box controls practicing our tactical skills, communication, command and control and we had fun while doing so. If you think this looks like fun stop by our stations see how you can get in on it.

Last week, we placed in to service our new Hurst "jaws of life" rescue equipment. Members braved the cold weather to train on the new tools prior to installing them on the apparatus. Our purchase of the battery powered spreader, cutter, ram and combi tool, will replace our old hydraulic tools that have served us well for many years. These new battery tools will enable rapid deployment, greater versatility and enhanced capabilities
