Carthage Fire Department NY

Thank you Fingerlakes Fire Training LLC for providing 4 Gas Meter training last night with Natural Bridge Volunteer Fire Company Inc . This was a great opportunity for members to learn the capabilities of our Gas Meters. All in attendance came away from this with a much better understanding of metering that will help when responding to a wide variety of incidents.

Welcome to our newest probationary members Michael Re*****on and Jodi Hartman!

Michael is from Ellisburg originally and recently moved to Carthage. Michael is very eager to learn and is excited to take BEFO and IFO. He’s drawn inspiration from his father who was past Chief of the Ellisburg FD.

Jodi joins us as an EMT. She works for multiple agencies here in Jefferson County. While she will be a huge asset for us as an EMT she is very eager to learn and train on firefighting.

We have had 9 new applicants already this year! If you have ever considered joining your local Fire Department now is a great time!

Sam, thank you for the many years of support and dedication to the Carthage Fire Department and Carthage Community.

Our Deepest condolences go out to the Lundy family. May he Rest in Piece.
