🚨 Help Us Help You – Make Your Address Visible!
Westmoreland Fire Department Public Safety Reminder

In an emergency, every second counts. When our firefighters and first responders are racing to your aid, clearly visible house numbers can make all the difference.

🏠 If your address isn’t easy to spot from the road—especially at night—it can delay our response.

📬 Please ensure your house number is:
• Clearly marked on your mailbox (on both sides, if possible) and marked on your house!
• Made with large, reflective numbers for night visibility.

This small step could save a life, maybe even yours.
Thank you for helping us keep Westmoreland safe and prepared!

— Your Westmoreland Fire Department

Spring is nearly here, and so is the annual burn ban. As the snow melts and temperatures rise, New York State is at an increased risk of wildfires in the spring. In effect from March 16 through May 14, the annual burn ban prohibits residents from burning vegetation and brush with few exceptions.

The Westmoreland Volunteer Fire Department and Ladies Auxiliary would like to thank our community and our neighbors from surrounding areas who came out today to support our Spaghetti Dinner fundraiser.

Thanks to your incredible support, the event was an outstanding success. We are proud to share that 100% of the proceeds raised will be donated to the Boonville Fire Department’s injured members.

Your generosity and support truly demonstrate the strength of our fire service family and the communities we serve. Thank you to everyone who attended, donated, and helped make today possible. 🚒❤️
