Broome County Democrats

We are heartbroken by the tragic loss of Binghamton firefighter John “JR” Gaudet, who gave his life protecting our community during last night’s three-alarm fire. JR’s courage, kindness, and unwavering dedication to service touched countless lives — from his fearless work in the firehouse to his impact as a beloved coach and mentor in our community.

Our thoughts are with his wife, children, loved ones, and the entire Binghamton Fire Department during this incredibly difficult time. We also send our prayers and hopes for a full and speedy recovery to the two firefighters injured alongside him.

JR’s selfless heroism and legacy of service will forever be remembered. Today, we mourn his loss and honor his life.

Thank you to everyone who came out last night to our annual holiday party! We were joined by Congressman-elect Josh Riley, Senator Lea Webb, Assemblywoman Donna Lupardo, County Executive Jason Garnar & more!
