Spencertown Fire Company

From the men & women at the SFC !!

Members of the SFC are participating and will be there!

WINTER TRAINING 2020 Members of the Spencertown and Austerlitz Fire Companies participate in training for ice rescue equipment recently purchased by the Austerlitz Fire District. Instructor Bob Davis discuses how the equipment is used, maintained and stored. Bob is President and Founder of MARSARS Water Rescue Systems and is retired from a 22 year career with the US Navy and Coast Guard. The newly issued equipment is assigned to the Spencertown Fire Co rescue truck. ... Firefighters from both fire companies will participate in more training as the winter goes on, including actual "on ice" drills for technicians and rope tenders.

ON & INTO 2020 ..... The Spencertown Fire Company had a busy 2019! In addition to maintaining the fire station & grounds and participating in meetings, training and drills, SFC firefighters responded to more than 80 fire & emergency calls in 2019. ... In May we hosted our annual Mother's Day Breakfast where local Mom, Pat Williams won the 50/50 raffle. Our summer beef BBQ was a great success again with the $1,500 Fred Oleynek Memorial Scholarship awarded to Sheila Sanders, who is attending SUNY Cobleskill studying Wildlife Management. The Austerlitz Fire District replaced our old rescue truck with a new Ford F550 truck set up with the latest gear for vehicle extrication, scene lighting, a fire attack CAFS foam system and water rescue equipment (shout out to KME PA, & Bulldog Fire Apparatus - Albany NY for a great job). We couldn't do it without our members and the support of the Spencertown/Austerlitz and surrounding community. Thank you and now on & into 2020!
