Bill > K00286

This resolution commemorates the 125th anniversary of the Oriskany Volunteer Fire Department, a 100% volunteer organization that has been serving the Oriskany Fire District since its establishment on June 15, 1900. The resolution highlights the department's comprehensive emergency services, which include fire suppression, fire investigations, code inspections, emergency medical response, technical rescue operations, and hazardous materials responses. The fire department is recognized for its commitment to professional-level training, public safety education, and community involvement, offering programs like "Get Out, Stay Out" and training in CPR, First Aid, and Driver's Safety. Originally equipped with basic firefighting tools like hose carts, brass pipes, and axes supplied by the Town of Whitestown, the department has evolved to become a critical community resource that selflessly dedicates its time to protecting lives and property. The resolution formally honors the Oriskany Volunteer Fire Department's 125-year legacy of service, sacrifice, and dedication to community safety, and directs that copies of the resolution be transmitted to the department.
