Volunteer firefighters have been protecting the Mendon community since 1932. We provide support to our fellow citizens in times of need and feel a sense of accomplishment and pride in the work we do. Volunteering is a great way to learn new skills, make new friends, and contribute to our community.
They come from our community. They vary in age and they are both men and women.
Where does the leadership come from to organize and direct this unselfish effort?
It comes from within the ranks. The Chief and line officers, who are elected by their peers, have total responsibility for the safety of lives and the preservation of property within our jurisdiction.
There are only three options for communities to maintain viable emergency services:
1. Recruit and retain volunteer firefighters
2. Maintain a combination volunteer and career Fire Department
3. Hire entirely career firefighters
Recruiting and retaining volunteers is obviously the most cost effective source of maintaining this service on behalf of all residents
Volunteer emergency services is a grassroots operation. For hundreds of years, volunteer firefighters did what they had to do to provide services. When they needed something, they had a bake sale or a homemade fundraiser of some sort within the community to get the funding. It was this very thing that made them so visible, respected, and so much appreciated in the community.
One of the most successful programs to bolster emergency services is rooted in recruiting young volunteers. Fire Explores are those volunteers between the ages of 14 to 18. It may surprise you to learn that even those 14 to 18 years old can volunteer to join the our Explorer Post.
Active volunteer firefighters shall have the opportunity to earn pension-like benefits, as well as
pre-Entitlement Age death and disability benefits, under the Service Award Program.
Do not leave open flames unattended. Some of the leading causes of house fires are candles, cigarettes, and unattended cooking.
Make sure you have unexpired fire extinguishers throughout your house. Ideally, at least one on each story of your home—especially the kitchen.
Keep your smoke alarms fully functional. Statistically, the presence of working smoke alarms reduces the risk of casualties by 50%.
We provide fire, rescue, and first responder emergency medical service to the citizens of the Mendon Fire District in the town of Mendon, New York.
🚒👨🚒 Shoutout to all the incredible Mendon Fire volunteers that had an amazing day of training and honing our skills!
Last week, Mendon Fire volunteers tackled the SCBA confidence! Using a local playground as a confidence course allowed us to replicate some real-life scenarios and obstacles we might face in emergency situations.
Talk about thinking outside the box!💡
