Bill > J00617

This resolution commemorates the 125th anniversary of the Oriskany Volunteer Fire Department, recognizing its longstanding commitment to community service and public safety in the Oriskany Fire District. Established on June 15, 1900, the department began with basic equipment like hose carts and axes and has since evolved to provide comprehensive emergency services including fire suppression, medical response, technical rescue, and hazardous materials management. The resolution highlights the department's all-volunteer workforce, who are trained to professional firefighter standards and actively engage in public safety education through community programs like "Get Out, Stay Out" and "Winter Safety." The department not only responds to emergencies but also contributes to the community by supporting local events, nonprofit organizations, and offering training in critical life-saving skills like CPR and First Aid. The legislative body pauses to honor the Oriskany Volunteer Fire Department's 125-year legacy of service, sacrifice, and dedication to protecting lives and property, and resolves to transmit an official, engrossed copy of the resolution to the department in recognition of its remarkable achievements.
