Morris Fire Department Mourns the Loss of Henry “Hank” W. Rehrmann

It is with great sadness that the Morris Fire Department announces the passing of Henry “Hank” W. Rehrmann, who passed away on September 19, 2026, at the age of 82.

Hank dedicated 60 years of service to the Morris Fire Department, beginning when he returned to Morris to raise his family. Throughout those six decades, he served his community with tremendous dedication and pride. He served as Fire Chief and, most recently, as a Morris Fire District Commissioner.

In 1976, Hank was honored as the Otsego County Volunteer Fireman of the Year, recognizing his outstanding commitment to the fire service and his community.

For those of us who had the privilege of knowing Hank through the fire department, we will remember much more than his years of service. We will remember his willingness to help, his knowledge and experience, his dedication to the community, and, of course, his quick wit and funny one-liners for every occasion.

Hank was a firefighter, chief, commissioner, husband, father, grandfather, friend, and community servant. He gave an incredible amount of his life to helping others.

Thank you, Hank, for 60 years of service to the Morris Fire Department and to the community you loved. Your dedication, friendship, and memory will never be forgotten.

Our deepest condolences go out to Marcia and the entire Rehrmann family during this difficult time.

Rest easy, Hank. We’ll take it from here. 🚒

60 Years of Service. A Lifetime of Dedication.
Gone, but never forgotten.

Please “adopt” a Fire Hydrant In the area of your home to help make sure if water is ever needed for a structure fire that water is available. Thank you for your support and your help.

Public Notice Regarding Use of the Fire House Meeting Room

It has come to our attention that a rumor is circulating in the village/town regarding the use of the fire house meeting room. We would like to clarify this matter.

The rumor states that the public can no longer use the fire house meeting room. This is not true. The fire house meeting room is still available for public use.

However, please note that the pavilion located behind the fire house is not affiliated with the fire department. The pavilion is managed separately.

If you wish to rent:

• The fire house meeting room: You must contact and contract with the fire department.

• The pavilion: You must contact and contract with the Village of Morris.

If you plan to use both facilities, separate contracts are required—one with the fire department for the fire house and one with the Village of Morris for the pavilion.

Thank you for allowing us to clear up this misunderstanding.

With the recent snowfall, please help keep our community safe by making sure fire hydrants are cleared of snow. In an emergency, every second counts.

If there is a fire hydrant in front of your home, please take a moment to shovel it out. If you do not have one but notice a nearby hydrant that hasn’t been cleared, please check with the homeowner to see if it’s okay to help shovel it.

Thank you for helping keep everyone safe.

Merry Christmas from our family to yours! 🎄✨
May your day be filled with laughter, love, and special memories.
