The Afton Hose Company Emergency Squad is a small Fire Department based EMS service that is, of course, 100 % volunteer, as is the fire department. For the last two years, the Squad has been working on recruiting and retention by planning open houses and chicken BBQs during recruit NY week to try to bring the community inside the station and show the benefits of volunteering.

 

In the past, the squad and fire departments have suffered from a shortage of members causing a concern about having sufficient personnel to provide firefighting and ambulance services. We are in a time where volunteer services are very much in need of additional members. With the help of the Community, we hope to increase the size of both our firefighter and EMT families. We are presently planning to hold an “open house” on April 13th. from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

 

There will be tours of the station and an opportunity to inspect the equipment and have any questions answered. We are planning to have a special fun activity for the children. It is also an opportunity for your kids to sit in a fire engine so that you can take their picture.

 

In addition, there will be a chicken BBQ from 11:00 a.m. until sold out. Volunteer service can be very rewarding. Emergency squad training can also be very valuable for a family emergency. WE WILL TRAIN YOU!!

 

Stop in on April 13th. and find out what it is all about. You could be pleasantly surprised.
