School starts this week for many of our friends and neighbors! Do you remember what to do when you see a school bus with flashing red lights? Do you need to stop on Troy Rd? What about Avon Crest Blvd? Here is a friendly reminder from the New York State Department of Transportation that all vehicles in all lanes must come to a complete stop! (Yes! Even fire trucks on Troy Rd need to stop!)
Be sure to review the rules surrounding school buses and always be alert for kids and other pedestrians! Let’s not meet by accident!We're excited about the prospect of seeing school buses on the roads again in the coming days! 🚍
It's been a while, so here's a quick reminder: vehicles in all lanes in both directions must come to a complete stop for stopped school buses with flashing lights.
Members from Niskayuna Fire District 2 joined Niskayuna Fire District No.1, Niskayuna Permanent Firefighters Association, IAFF Local 4151, Niskayuna Police Benevolent Association, local religious leaders, and neighbors from our community this morning to ensure those that made the ultimate sacrifice on September 11, 2001 are never forgotten. Past Chief Friderici officiated the ceremony that has become an important annual tradition.

This week, our newest class of Junior Firefighters practiced skills to develop proper wear and self-confidence with their firefighter personal safety equipment under the supervision of Lieutenant Henery, Firefighter Snitkoff and Firefighter A Ferrara. This is the third class of Junior Firefighters to start our program designed to offer exposure to the fire service and a pathway to become a fully qualified volunteer firefighter by each participant’s 18th birthday! Great job Juniors!
Please join us at the Niskayuna Town Hall this Friday. All are invited to attend.
