Another great video of the parade.

The Alert Hose Company started back in 1876 as an all-volunteer outfit. Still running that way today, serving Adams and surrounding area around the clock.

Today we remember those lost on 9/11/01….25 years later it still feels like yesterday, we all remember where we were. Never Forget. As a solemn reminder we have memorialized the 343 members of the FDNY lost on our recent apparatus.

Just days until the streets of Adams come alive with the sounds of horns from the marching bands, the skirl of the bagpipes and the field music of fife and drum corps. The visiting fire departments will shine through with their crisp uniforms, trucks shining after hours of washing and waxing, mirror like chrome finish, tires glistening - showing the pride that they have for their department. All coming together to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Alert Hose Company.

Special thanks to the behind scenes organizations that make it all happen. The members of the Alert Hose Company Adams Fire Department Town of Adams Forest Warden Department Adams Police Department Adams DPW and the countless community volunteers that have given their time and support.
