Wynantskill Fire Department

Today, members of the Wynantskill Fire Department proudly took part in our community’s Memorial Day parade. It was a wonderful day with an incredible turnout as we came together to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

While we enjoyed seeing so many familiar faces throughout the day, we also pause to reflect on what Memorial Day is truly about — remembering those who gave everything in service to our nation.

Thank you to everyone who came out to support today’s events. 🇺🇸

Today at approximately 10:50 AM, Wynantskill Fire Department was called mutual aid to assist the Poestenkill Fire Company for a transformer fire that spread into a brush fire in the area of the 500 block of Fiftysix Rd.

Engine 42-7 responded to assist with fire suppression and overhaul operations. Crews worked alongside Poestenkill firefighters to contain the fire and prevent further extension into the surrounding wooded area.

Today at approximately 6:25 PM, Wynantskill Fire Department was requested mutual aid to assist Poestenkill Fire Company with a reported brush fire on Cropsey Rd.

Engine 42-7 responded with personnel to assist crews already operating on scene. Crews worked to contain and extinguish hotspots while preventing further extension into the wooded area.

We’d like to remind everyone that with the recent dry conditions, brush fires can spread quickly. Please use caution with any outdoor burning activities. 🚒🔥

Last night’s drill brought out 32 members putting in work 💪

Crews focused on firehouse clean-up, along with hose, hydrant, and pump operations—keeping both our equipment and our station ready for whatever comes next.

It’s not always lights and sirens… sometimes it’s buckets, brushes, and getting the job done behind the scenes.
