The Montgomery Fire Department has been
dedicated to our community since 1810.
This new web site gives us a chance to
reach out to our neighbors and show them
what we do.
We are all volunteer and have been
active since 1810. We're the oldest
volunteer fire department in Orange
County. We respond to fires, medical
emergencies, motor vehicle accidents,
and other emergencies or hazardous
situations. We also provide mutual aid
to surrounding fire districts (as they
do to us) to increase their capabilities
during large incidents.
We have about 80
active members who respond from home,
work, or wherever they may be. Each new
member is at a minimum required to
attend 90+ hours of the most basic
training provided by The New York State
Department of State’s Office of Fire
Prevention and Control (OFPC).
That
basic training is only the beginning.
The department holds regular weekly
drills that will run up to three hours
long. Members regularly attend OFPC
outreach classes at the Orange County
Fire Training Center. Additionally we
will bring in specialized training
during the year. Over the past year
we've had special training in Ice Rescue
and for our Thermal Imaging Cameras.

The fire
service has dramatically changed over
the nearly 200 years we've been in
existence. A hundred years ago,
motorized apparatus were the biggest
innovation. Fifty years ago self
contained breathing apparatus started on
the path to mainstream adoption. In
1958, we had two SCBAs in the
department. Now we have 30. These days,
thermal imaging cameras are the latest
breakthrough in firefighting technology
(we currently have two). For more
information about us, see
the history of
Montgomery's volunteer professionals written
for our 200th Anniversary parade program. |
