Sorry if this upsets people but this chopper has been here since the end of April. If the owner does not have it removed by the weekend it will be removed.

“Meet the Member Spotlight”
Episode 2: Linda Huntley

Linda Huntley has been proudly serving the South New Berlin community since December of 1992. That’s nearly 34 years! Linda was part of the Auxiliary, now Rehab. Linda joined the department to give back to the community after they helped her mom, transporting her to and from the hospital.
You will often find Linda helping out at breakfasts and dinners put on by the department, as well as the many events we have for the children of our community, and wherever else she is needed. Something that sticks out from her years in the department are the many “tractor trailer rollovers that we used to have” on Route 8.
Outside of her volunteer time at the SNBFD, Linda is also active in the South New Berlin First Baptist Church and Grace View Manor where she helps with BINGO, dinners, and baking. In addition, she was treasurer of the SNB Fire District Commissioners for 25 years and has been part of the Chenango County Home Bureau since 1998.
Thank you, Linda, for your dedication and years of service to our community!

“Meet Your South New Berlin Fire Department”
Episode 3: Fire Police
Our third episode of Meet Your South New Berlin Fire Department is all about our fire police. The main job of fire police is to keep everyone safe so that the fire fighters and EMS can fight fires and provide medical care without worrying about traffic. Many people don’t realize that these volunteers may be at a scene for several hours, keeping them from their own families . The fire police course is a state-certified training program that takes approximately 22 hours to complete. It includes scene safety, traffic laws, and much more. This is followed by ongoing drills and regular TIMS (Traffic Incident Management) training. If you are interested in becoming part of our fire police team, your first step is to fill out an application with the department and be approved as an active member.
In New York State, fire police officer candidates must:
1. Be at least 18 years old
2. Live in or near the fire district.
3. Pass a criminal history check and medical screening.
4. Complete state-certified training within a probationary window.
If becoming a fire police officer interests you, reach out for more information. We would love to speak with you!
