PAST NEWS
A Busy 24 Hours
Thank you to our amazing members for their hard work and dedication, and to our community for their support.
As of 9:00 AM on April 20, 2025, over the past 24hrs, Clifton Springs Volunteer firefighters have been hard at work responding to multiple emergency calls.
Starting around 4:45pm, the severe storms had swept through the area, causing significant damage to tress, powerlines, and homes. We responded to 17 weather related incidents within a 1 hour time frame. A total of 19 calls in a 24-hour period.
Riverside mobile home parked sustained the most amount of damage in our community, with multiple homes crushed by downed trees, along with a power outage that effected the entire park.
Due to the high call volume in a short amount of time, mutual aid assistance was requested from the Farmington Volunteer Fire Association and Port Gibson Vol. Fire Dept.
We would also like to thank The Ontario County Sheriff 911 center communication dispatchers, Town of Phelps highway department & code enforcement, Town of Manchester highway department & code enforcement, and the Village of Clifton Springs DPW for the assistance with road closures and ensuring ensuring the safety of the homes that were effected.

New Addition to Our Fleet!
The Clifton Springs Fire Department is excited to introduce the newest addition to our fleet!
Over the past eight months, our truck committee has worked diligently to replace our aging 1993 Pierce ladder truck, 581. After extensive research and planning, we officially took delivery of a 2012 Pierce Velocity 100' aerial platform on Tuesday, October 29th.
This new truck—nearly 20 years newer than its predecessor—comes equipped with modern safety features, faster hydraulic systems, and a 400-gallon water tank, significantly enhancing our capabilities.
You may have already seen the truck around town as our dedicated members have been hard at work completing driver training and mounting essential equipment to prepare it for service.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to The Village of Clifton Springs Board and the citizens of our fire district for your unwavering support of our volunteer fire department. Your backing enables us to continue protecting our community with the best possible resources.
Stay safe, and as always, we’re here when you need us!
