Monday evening fire fighters from Pleasant Square VFC, Meco VFD, Sir William Johnson VFD, and Sammonsville VFD participated in a joint training at the Concordia Club, in the Town of Johnstown, that simulated several operations typically utilized at structure fire scenes.
Structure Fire
Today we were dispatched to a smoke condition which turned out to be a working structure fire. Our initial crews made a fantastic stop and contained the fire to the kitchen with minor smoke and heat damage to the rest of the first floor. Meco was automatically dispatched for our daytime mutual aid agreement. Gloversville Fire was requested as the FAST team and Mayfield was placed on standby for us. The Fulton County EMO office, Fulton County Investigation Team and GAVAC were also requested to the scene. Yet again another great example of teamwork in action. Thank you all for your assistance and our thoughts are with the homeowner.

Motor Vehicle Accident
Last night at a little after 10:00pm we were dispatched for what sounded like a very complicated and involved Motor Vehicle Accident on State Highway 349. We closed the road for approximately 3 hours and we would like to thank everyone who had to be rerouted. We would like to thank the two civilians who stopped to assist before our arrival. Also we would like to thank Meco VFC, the Sheriff's office, the New York State Police, National Grid, the Fulton County Emergency Management Office, and the Fulton County Emergency Communication Center for their outstanding effort last night.

Mutual Aid Training with Sammonsville Fire
Tonight members participated in a multi department training in Sammonsville. Pictured here is truck 1341 setting up a water source off the road with more than 700 ft of large diameter hose that had to be laid in from the main road.
RecruitNY 2019
Today we held an open house as part of the RecruitNY program. We had an abundance of visitors as well as a great boot drive. A special thank you to Assemblymen Smullen for stopping in and showing his continuing support of our local community! As always without our volunteers none of this would be possible. We are at the station every Monday night at 7pm so feel free to stop in.
