🔥Voices of Service — When Emergency Calls Us to Serve

For 51 years, Frank Speziale has answered the call with the Tully Fire & EMS. What started as a desire to help others during a family emergency turned into a lifetime of service to his community.

Volunteer fire departments rely on more than firefighters. From traffic control and rehabilitation support to administrative and leadership roles, there are opportunities for everyone to make a difference. No experience is required, and training is provided at no cost.

“As I climbed through the ranks, I wanted to better myself. As time went on, membership slowly started to fade away, and we tried all sorts of things. It doesn't cost anything to join, and we'll train you for free.”

Join the volunteers serving communities across Onondaga County and discover how you can help protect your neighbors.
