Ensure Fire Safety, Save
Life, Save Property!

In the fall of 1887, a group of residents of the village of East Syracuse organized a fund drive for the purpose of forming a volunteer fire department. In May of 1888, the department’s first three companies formed consisting of the AD Ellis Engine Co., the Victory Hook & Ladder Co., and the JL Kyne Hose Co. There were thirty-two founding members.

Apparatus was a horse drawn hook and ladder truck, a hand drawn/operated pumper, and a hand drawn hose cart. These were housed in a rented building on East Manlius Street just north of the railroad tracks.

Today, our department responds to 1,000+ calls for service annually, covering an estimated eight square mile district.

Our district includes the Village of East Syracuse; Northern portion of the town of Dewitt and portions of the New York State Thruway and routes 690 and 481.
