Yesterday was a very busy day for our volunteers. We started the morning by delivering apples to all the students in the Mexico School District with assistance from New Haven Volunteer Fire Corporation and Palermo Volunteer Fire Department at their respective elementary schools. While at the Mexico Elementary School, we were requested mutual aid to the Ringgold Fire Company District for a vehicle into 2 Amish Buggies. 1421 responded from the elementary school with 3 EMTs, 1472, 1402, and 1403 responded for quarters providing additional personnel while 1471 remained in service for other in district calls and handing out apples to students. Once clear from the calls 1471 and 1421 handed out apples at Mexico Middle School. Once the crews were done handing out apples (which was a blast), 1421 responded to a reported MVA in our district which was unfounded. About 1 hour later 1401, 1402, 1403, 1481, 1421, 1451, and 1472 responded to a structure fire in our district. Crews cleared the structure fire just in time to assist with traffic for the Homecoming Parade and for 1471 to standby at the varsity football game.
We would like the thank the Mexico Academy and Central School District for letting us hand out apples! Appledale Apple Orchard for donating all of the apples! New Haven and Palermo Fire departments for handing out apples and assisting with traffic for the homecoming parade and responding to the structure fire, Ringgold Fire Department, Sandy Creek Fire Department, Parish Fire Department, Hastings Fire Department, Volney Fire Department, Oswego County Fire Coordinators Office, McFee Ambulance, Oswego County Sheriffs Office, and New York State Police for all assisting with the Structure Fire.
