As part of the annual RecruitNY statewide initiative, the The Massena Volunteer Fire Department will open its doors so residents can learn how they can serve their volunteer fire department.
Volunteer fire departments across New York state have been faced with decreased membership and increased call volume. Like most volunteer fire departments, Massena needs to bolster its ranks so it can continue to provide the optimum level of protection for its residents.
As part of RecruitNY Weekend, we will be opening our doors on Saturday, April 22 from 10am until 2pm. The department is located at 34 Andrews Street. We will join hundreds of volunteer fire departments across New York to raise public awareness regarding the need for volunteers and to highlight the rewards of being a member of a volunteer fire department.
Throughout the day, we will be conducting tours of the station and apparatus, allowing visitors to try on gear, demonstrate firefighting activities, provide information, and address questions on becoming a member. These activities give visitors a taste of what it means to be in the fire service. Volunteer firefighters will also be on hand to discuss the requirements and rewards of joining. We will have a few snacks on hand. All are welcome and encouraged to attend! Applications will be on hand for those 21 and older.
If you are a physically fit, dedicated person with a drive to help others…
Come find out if there’s a Fire in YOU!
