Seneca Falls Fire Department

This afternoon District Chief Farnsworth and Captain Piscitelli made a trip with Engine 3 to Mynderse Street to help support a local family who raise money in memory of Phil Luffman. This family raises money every year and donates it to help others. Thank you for the drinks and snacks. We appreciate it.

On Saturday August 15th the Seneca Falls Volunteer Fire Department had the honor of assisting the Clyde Fire Department with their fireworks detail. While we were there we were also advised that we had won a couple things at their parade on Friday evening. Thank you Clyde Fire Department for having us at your parade and then allowing us to assist you with the fireworks detail. I'd also like to thank all the members who gave up their Friday and Saturday evenings to partake in the events.

This evening District Chief Farnsworth, Assistant Chief Archer, Firefighter Nick Capacci, Firefighter Joe Capacci, and Firefighter Dylan Archer attended the parade in Clyde. What a great time. Thank you to the Clyde Fire Department for inviting us.

Last night members trained on various things. Some members went down to the Cayuga Lake State Park to continue training on drafting and pump operations while other members remained at the station and went over aerial operations ensuring that the Quint is ready for any job it may be requested too. Thank you to the members who give up their Monday evenings to continously train and stay proficient on the daily tasks of the fire service.

On Saturday August 8th the Seneca Falls Volunteer Fire Department held their annual summer picnic at the SMS. We had the honor of presenting John Nicandri with a certificate of appreciation for the many times he has fixed our small engine equipment. John goes above and beyond to make sure our small engine equipment is fixed in a timely fashion in case we need it for fire related emergencies. Thank you John for supporting our department. We also would like to thank the Fayette Vol Fire Dept for being on automatic dispatch yesterday so most of our members could enjoy our summer party. And a huge shout out to the staff at the SMS for the delicious food. Thank you all

On behalf of the Seneca Falls Volunteer Fire Department we'd like to thank Matt Millis and Alex Loycano from Goulds Pumps for dropping off pizza and wings to our members. We appreciate the kind gesture.

The members of the Seneca Falls Volunteer Fire Department would like to thank Amy Updyke for the generous donation of Water and Gatorade. These items are essential during these hot days when calls could range from structure fires to field fires. Keeping our members hydrated helps to ensure their safety so they may return home to their families at the end of each call.

On behalf of the Seneca Falls Fire Department we'd like to thank Chris Knapp and Stevers Garage for the donation of a sheet pizza for this evenings meeting. Thank you for thinking of the department and it's members.

Units that operated on scene consisted of 1461, 1464, 1465, Engine 3, and rescue 52. There were no injuries and all units were back in service within an hour. Thank you to our mutual aid partners who were started and then cancelled enroute.

On Tuesday June 30th between 1555 hrs and 1700 hrs the Seneca Falls Volunteer Fire Department responded to 5 different calls for wires and trees down. We also had 1 call for a motor vehicle crash at Kingdom Rd and County House Rd. We want to remind all town residents that power lines that are down within trees can still be energized and pose a risk to you and others. Please avoid the area and let NYSEG Electric make the situation safe again. Fire Department personnel are tasked with making sure the scene is safe and people are not in the danger zone. Please respect our personnel as they are there to keep you safe.

We'd also like to thank 361 and 1661 who were at the scene of the crash assisting with traffic control. We appreciate your assistance.
