🚒 Engine Co 3 at the C.R.A.F.T. Muster! 🚒

We’re excited to be attending today’s C.R.A.F.T. Muster at Ichabod Crane High School!

Unfortunately, our beloved 1984 Mack CF, Engine 3, couldn’t make the trip this year as we’re still awaiting some necessary repairs to get her back on the road.

While we’re disappointed we couldn’t bring the old girl along, we’re happy to be here supporting this great event, catching up with fellow fire apparatus enthusiasts, and celebrating the history and traditions of the fire service.

There’s nothing quite like seeing these historic rigs and the people who work so hard to preserve them!

🚒 Engine 3 may be sitting this one out, but the Engine Co 3 crew is here and enjoying the day!

🐾❤️ Lt. Amelia has an important message for everyone! ❤️🐾

You never know when you might be the person someone is counting on.

Lt. Amelia and all of us at Engine Co. 3 encourage everyone to take the time to learn CPR and how to use an AED.

Cardiac emergencies can happen anywhere — at home, at work, at a family gathering, or out in the community. Knowing what to do in those first critical minutes can make all the difference.

❤️ Learn CPR.
⚡ Learn how to use an AED.
🐾 Be ready to help.

It’s a skill we hope you’ll never need — but someday, you could save a life.

Lt. Amelia’s orders! 🐾🚒

🚨 Restoring History — One Piece at a Time 🚨

We’re pleased to announce the restoration of an original piece of Guilderland Fire Department history is complete!

For decades, this fire call box hung on the front of the Guilderland Fire Station, standing ready during an era when emergency communication looked very different than it does today.

After many years of service and exposure to the elements, the call box has been carefully cleaned, prepped, restored, and brought back to life while preserving the character of this unique piece of our department’s history.

Today, it has a new home as a permanent exhibit at the Engine Co. 3 Historical Fire Museum, where it can continue telling its story for generations to come.

This is exactly why our museum exists — preserving the past and educating the future.

Another piece of Guilderland’s firefighting history preserved. ❤️🚒

🚒 A Busy Day at Engine Co. 3! 🔥

Our volunteers are spending the day at the museum getting a lot of behind-the-scenes work done!

Today’s projects include installing new exhibits, giving the museum a thorough fall cleaning, and taking care of the centerpiece of our collection — Engine 3. The Mack is getting a good cleaning along with a comprehensive truck check to make sure everything is inspected and cared for.

Keeping a museum like ours going takes more than displaying history. It takes plenty of hands-on work to preserve the apparatus, maintain the building, and continue adding new pieces of fire service history for our visitors to enjoy.

A huge thank you to our volunteers who give their time to help keep Engine Co. 3 looking its best and moving forward.
