Firemen's Field Days
June 4 - 7
 Please support the Apalachin Firemen's Field Days on June 4, 5, 6, and 7. 
 This four-day event is being brought to you by volunteer firefighters/EMS personnel. Profit from "AFD Booths" at the field days goes right to the Apalachin Fire Department, so this is a good way to support those who protect your life and property.  

 One of our sayings is "You depend on us - we depend on you."  This is one of those times we are depending on you. Your attendance and participation, whether it be in the food areas or games, would be greatly appreciated.  Look for  "AFD Booth" to determine whether you're supporting one of our booths.

 The Little  Miss Apalachin Contest will also be held on Saturday, June 7 at 11:00 am.

June 7, Saturday, 6 pm

Become a Volunteer
      Call 625-2216 if you would like more information on becoming one of Apalachin Fire Department's volunteer firefighters.  If accepted, you'll receive a free medical evaluation, firematic education, use of fitness equipment and many other benefits. Your commitment would be to attend at least 24 hours of training a year and respond to emergencies anytime of the day or night. We're looking for a few dedicated volunteers who are willing to get up in the middle of the night if necessary to respond to emergencies,   These same volunteers help with public education programs, tours of the station, work details and all those other unexpected activities that volunteer firefighters/EMS personnel  provide to the community.   

      Once again, it is my  privilege to express, on behalf of this community and chief officers, our sincere thanks to all our volunteer firefighters/EMS personnel who have given up so much of their personal time to benefit this community. Their contributions are very much appreciated.. (AFD contracts with the Village of Owego for an EMT and Paramedic for day-time EMS coverage).
