South Otselic Fire & EMS serves residents across South Otselic and surrounding areas, providing fire protection, emergency medical services, and rescue operations. As a volunteer organization, we rely heavily on community partnerships and corporate support to maintain safe, reliable, and effective emergency services.
On the weekend of January 31–February 1, 2026, two members of our department completed the New York State Ice Rescue Technician course through the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (DHSES), Office of Fire Prevention and Control.
As a result, South Otselic Fire & EMS now has two certified Ice Rescue Technicians capable of responding to ice and cold-water emergencies.
Our department is currently fundraising to purchase these specialized Ice/Cold Water Rescue suits that enable our responders to safely perform rescues in these extremely hazardous environments. For a small volunteer agency, the cost of this equipment presents a significant financial challenge, so please consider buying a raffle ticket or two and help us reach our goal.
