Discovery Post Program. This is the program for 14-17 year olds to learn about emergency services, focusing on the fire service, in hopefully getting them to join their local departments once they turn 16. This program while only in its third year has led to several students joining their home departments. Please share this flyer with anyone you know that might be in the age range.

This morning at 0852, we were dispatched for a tree on a car personal injury auto accident. Car 32-2 called out responding at 0853 and was advised by UC911 that there was still 1 person in the vehicle. Car 32-2 arrived at 0854 to find one vehicle in the roadway with a large tree on the hood and multiple broken poles and power lines down. Car 32-2 spoke with the operator and determined the operator had minor injuries and only a door pop was needed to remove the patient. Command then requested Central Hudson and Ulster County DPW and requested Hurley Ambulance Service Incorporated respond to the Lucas Ave side of the incident for better patient access. 32-11 arrived and members utilized our e-hydraulic spreader to pop the door and assist Hurley Ambulance with patient removal. We operated on the scene for approximately 3 hours while DPW and Central Hudson secured the scene. The scene was turned over to both agencies at approximately 1130. Car 32, 32-2, 32-11 and 32-15 responded with 9 personnel.

It is with deep regret that we announce the passing of past firefighter and commissioner John F. Miller. Throughout the years that John was active as commissioner, he was an asset for the fire department as well as the taxpayers of the district. John was also a commited volunteer to our agency. Outside of the fire department, John was commited to helping the community through his work as a police officer with the Town of Ulster Police and Town of New Paltz. He was also the voice of Ulster County Stop DWI. His impact to the community was far reaching and he will be sorely missed. Please keep his wife Karen Miller, his sons', Former Hurley Fire Department Medical Director Dan Miller, Firefighter Mike Miller and the rest of his family in your thoughts as they navigate this difficult time.

View John F. Miller's obituary, send flowers, find service dates, and sign the guestbook.

Over the past several months, several members have completed NYS training courses.

Rosalia Bythewood-Saverino completed the NYS Basic Exterior Firefighting Operations (BEFO) course in Greene County. This 79 hour course covers a multitude of topics including Personal protection equipment (PPE), exterior fire protection, fire extinguishers, ground ladders, hazardous materials, and more.

Kerry Bythewood-Saverino and Michael Arnold completed the NYS BEFO course and the NYS Interior Firefighting Operations (IFO) course in Ulster County. The NYS BEFO class was 79 hours and the NYS IFO class was an additional 50 totaling 129 hours. In addition to the topics covered in the NYS BEFO class, Kerry and Mike learned self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) use and emergencies, firefighter survival techniques, modern fire control, building search, victim removal, ventilation methods, and more.

Tyler Eminowicz completed the NYS 32-hour Swiftwater/Flood Rescue Technician course at the State Preparedness Training Center in Oriskany, NY. This intense course teaches students to work in a moving water environment utilizing multiple water rescue techniques to include throw bag rescues, go rescues, rope systems in water, wading, boat based rescues, and more. This specific class was a little different as 1st. Assistant Chief Brendan Nugent was one of the instructors for the course and had the opportunity and pleasure to teach one of his own members.

We would like to thank these members for their hard work and dedication to continue to learn.
