KIRKVILLE FIREFIGHTERS PARTICIPATE IN TUNNEL TO TOWERS RUN IN NEW YORK CITY

Kirkville firefighters (l-r) Mike Recor, Thomas Hart and Lt. Shawn Foster participated in the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Run on September 25, 2011. They are pictured here in front of FDNY Engine 202 in Red Hook, Brooklyn before the start of the event. The annual Tunnel to Towers Run honors the memory of off-duty FF Stephen Siller who abandoned his truck in traffic and ran through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel with full turnout gear to assist his brother firefighters in the burning twin towers on the morning of 9/11. FF Siller was lost in the collapse of the towers but the annual run honors his memory and spirit. Learn more about the Stephen Siller Foundation at  http://www.tunneltotowersrun.org 

AUTOMOBILE FIRE TRAINING

During the months of June and July, Kirkville firefighters will be training on car fires and accident vehicle extrication. Safety measures during these drills are always a priority. Our firefighters are fully trained on hazard recognition including the potential for fuel ignition, air bag deployment,  and explosion of lift struts and bumpers under live fire conditions.

 If your house number is not clearly legible, we may have trouble finding you in the event of an emergency call, especially at night or in inclement weather. The Kirkville Fire Company is now selling house number signs that are legible, reflective, visible from either direction, and mountable on the appropriate side of the street (particularly important if your mailbox is across the street). We encourage all Kirkville Fire District residents to purchase one of these signs for $20 including mounting post. We'll even install it for you!  If you're interested in purchasing one of these signs for your home or business, and you are located within our Fire District (click here to check), then please send us an email to AddressSigns@kirkvillefire.com. 

Non-District residents: If you don't live in our Fire District, you can still purchase the exact model signs we're using directly from our supplier by clicking here . We recommend 4" numerals on a green sign panel. Please note that posts are not provided for orders placed through the sign company.

 FIREFIGHTER BAILOUT TRAINING

 Kirkville firefighters recently got to try out their new bailout equipment from our training window. In the event of entrapment during a fire and when no other escape method is available, our interior firefighters each carry a bailout kit with a hook, rope, harness and descender control to safely escape.
