News & Events... Quick News Links... 50-Years of Service | EMS Truck Grant | Amanda's Law NYM Dedicates New Truck This 2010 Chevrolet Suburban was purchased through a $39999.27 Grant made possible by the Town of New Hartford. It was monies from mitigation for development along the French Road corridor. This money was intended for use for public safety. Incidentally, the light bar on top was included in the purchase price of the vehicle. The stripping and decals you see on the vehicle were installed by the Personal Graphics Corporation in Westmoreland. The cost for their work was $1125.00. This was paid for with funds from the annual fund drive by the members of the New York Mills Fire Department Inc. The vehicles communications equipment was installed by J.P.J. Communications in Yorkville. This also was paid for by funds from our annual fund drive. The cost of this equipment was $ 1338.17. So as you can see at this dedication, to date no Village of New York Mills Fire Department Budget monies have been used for this vehicle. It was solely funded from the work of the Town of New Hartford and your donations to the fire department.
The members of the New
York Mills Fire Department are proud to present this new
emergency vehicle to the New York Mills Village Board and
all those that may be in need of the emergency services we
may have to provide to them.
NYMFD Awarded Grant for New EMS Truck
Fire Chief Robert Glenn said the vehicle – a Chevy Suburban – will be used for emergency medical services and fire calls. Delivery is expected in February, and the fire department will host a dedication ceremony for it later in the spring. Glenn said funds for the public safety grant came from mitigation money the town collected from past development projects.
JANUARY 31, 2010 -- This year marks an important year for John Montrose, a member of the New York Mills Fire Department. It is the year that he will celebrate 50-years of membership with the New York Mills Fire Department. "Providing 50-years of service to a volunteer fire department should be commended," says New York Mills Fire Chief, Bob Glenn. "John has been a dedicated member of our department, still continuing to offer his community countless hours of service and dedication."
Also receiving 50-year awards that night are Sig Bartoszek (50-years) and Ron Szatko (52-years). Both Bartoszek and Szatko were out of town and unable to attend the banquet.

As a state law that requires the installation of carbon monoxide alarms in homes goes into effect today, a new survey released by a North Carolina-based company shows many New York homes are not protected from the deadly gas. Conducted in October 2009, the survey found more than half of respondents either did not have a carbon monoxide alarm or did not have enough alarms for the size of their home, according to a news release from Kidde, a company that sells alarms.
The odorless, tasteless and poisonous
gas annually kills 400 people, the company reported. The law is named for 16-year-old Amanda Hansen of West Seneca, who died January 2009, due to a carbon monoxide leak from a defective boiler. Before the law, carbon monoxide detectors were required in homes built after July 30, 2002.
