Earlier this morning, our crews participated in an intensive vehicle extrication training at Slate Valley Auto in Granville, NY, taking advantage of a realistic environment to refine the lifesaving skills we depend on during serious motor‑vehicle incidents. Training scenarios included patient access, door and roof removal, glass management, vehicle stabilization, and coordinated tool operations - all under conditions designed to mirror the challenges we face on real calls.

Hands‑on opportunities like this allow firefighters to practice with extrication tools, cribbing, stabilization struts, and saws while working as a unified team. These sessions build muscle memory, sharpen communication, and ensure that when the tones drop, our crews can perform quickly, safely, and confidently.

A sincere thank‑you to Dorset Fire Department for organizing the day and bringing departments together, and to Slate Valley Auto for generously providing vehicles and a safe training space. Joint trainings like this strengthen regional response capabilities and reinforce the mutual‑aid partnerships our communities rely on.

Site work continued on Wednesday as progress moves steadily toward the next major milestone. Crews installed the foam insulation that will support future radiant heat in the building - an important step in creating a warm, efficient space for our equipment and members.

We’re hopeful that Orlando and his crew will be able to install the radiant tubing today, bringing us one step closer to the concrete foundation pour.

Thank you to everyone following along and supporting this project. More updates coming soon as the Annex takes shape.

The Manchester Firefighters Association recently completed repointing work on our 9/11 Memorial, located at the Factory Point Town Green. This year marks the 25th anniversary, and we’re proud to ensure the memorial remains a strong and lasting tribute.

It stands as a reminder of the lives lost, the courage shown, and the unity that followed. Maintaining it with care is an honor for our department.

Thank you to our community for your continued support - it’s because of you that we’re able to preserve important pieces of our history. Stay safe, and take a moment to reflect as we move toward this milestone year.

Big progress on the Annex Building this past week. The foundation has been fully formed, and we’re getting ready for the concrete pour. A huge thank‑you to RK Miles for generously donating the foam insulation, and to Orlando Bacares for donating the materials needed for the radiant heat that will be installed in the slab.

Every contribution moves this project forward, and we’re grateful for the continued community support.

Enjoy the Memorial Day weekend - more updates coming soon as the Annex takes shape.
