The volunteers of Niskayuna Fire District 2 were busy in 2023! Throughout the year, we answered 613 emergency calls including 7 responses to structural fires, multiple vehicle accidents, and 302 medical emergencies. We welcomed 3 new firefighters and graduated 2 firefighters as interior structural firefighters! As a department we completed more than 1,500 hours training through department drills and State courses. We continued promoting youth participation in the fire service with 4 students in our Junior Firefighter program. During 2023, we placed WR-4145, a 2022 Diamondback Airboat, into service. To date, WR-4145 has already answered 7 water rescue emergency calls and supported a County water rescue training exercise. We continued to grow our community outreach efforts including hosting 13 CPR Training Courses to promote this life-saving skill with Town residents. The volunteers of Niskayuna Fire District 2 continued our collaboration with Niskayuna Fire District 1 to promote fire prevention education in Niskayuna Schools. 2023 also marked the return of our Open House which we hosted as a collaborative event along with Niskayuna Fire District 1 and the Niskayuna Police Department. From all of the volunteers of Niskayuna Fire District 2, thank you for your continued support. Here’s wishing you a safe, happy, and healthy New Year!
