Milford Fire Department and Emergency Squad

09/15/2026

Members of both the fire department and emergency squad joined forces tonight to practice some basic search and rescue skills.

For this simulation, they were dispatched to a hunter that fell out of his tree stand and called 911 for help before his cell phone died. After finding the patient in the woods, they discovered he had a broken leg and could not walk on his own. They loaded him in a Stokes basket and manually carried him to the Milford Fire UTV where they carefully made their way back to incident command and the ambulance.

If this looks interesting to you, reach out for an application! 🚒🔥🚑

One of our firefighters completed the Basic Vehicle Passenger Rescue class this past weekend. If this type of stuff peaks your interest, reach out for an application! 🚒

This past weekend, 19 volunteer firefighters from Otsego and Delaware Counties endured the elements to complete a Basic Passenger Vehicle Rescue Training Course, totaling more than 21 hours of hands-on instruction.

Training like this would not be possible without the support of our local fire departments, who provided equipment and resources throughout the course. A special thank you goes to our friends at (Feil’s Collision Works) in Westford for their generous donation of eight vehicles, providing participants with valuable, hands-on training opportunities.

And thank you to everyone who helped make this course a success, and congratulations to all of the firefighters who dedicated their time to furthering their education, sharpening their skills, and better preparing themselves to serve their local communities.
