THE WATKINS GLEN FIRE DEPARTMENT


             The Watkins Glen Fire Department is an entirely volunteer department that answers Fire, EMS, Auto Extrication, High Angle Rescue, and many other types of alarms a year. We cover a 58 square mile response district out of one station. The department answers on average over 700 alarms a year throughout the county. We currently have a 1999 75’ Ladder Truck, a 2007 Heavy Rescue Engine, a 1990 Engine, a 1986 Tanker, a 1986 Bruch truck, a 1998 Tahoe for EMS response, a 2007 Polaris 6x6, a Tech Rescue Trailer, and a 2002 Subaru Forester for EMS response. This vehicle is a take home car for the on call EMT to use when on duty.

             We also offer fire extinguisher training at the fire house on Monday nights at 7pm and the second Wednesday of the month at 7pm. We will also be doing this at public events through out the year. It is free and open to the public. We can help you with corporate training also. Please call the Chief for details.

             We are at the firehouse on Monday nights from 7pm to 9pm so please stop by and see the men and women hard at work. Also please stop at one of the many events we are at in the community to learn more about the fire department.

New Volunteers are always welcome.
