Engine 27 responded shortly after, as well as mutual aid from the LeRoy FD and the Churchville FD. Later arriving units assisted with a secondary search of both apartments, ventilation and checking for extension from the fire. Thank you to our members and our mutual aid companies

Today, we reflect on the life & contributions of Assist. Chief Barry Miller. Five years ago, Barry selflessly gave his life to save someone he had never met. Barry may no longer be with us, but he lives on in each member of the BFD https://t.co/hy4S4rZ9na

More than ever before, women are choosing to serve their communities as firefighters. If you want to be a part of this new wave of volunteers, consider joining our team today. This is a great opportunity to do something special. Email [email protected] for more details.

Please use caution as the DOT resurfaces RT 33. Once complete, be mindful of the new traffic patterns.

[Bergen Fire Dept @BergenFireDept]

Your BFD celebrates the 911 dispatchers @ Genesee Co. during this National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week. Their dedicated team takes our calls of crisis, provide life saving direction & sends Fire, EMS or PD to assist. They do so with great precision and professionalism.

[Bergen Fire Dept @BergenFireDept]

Forecasts suggest dangerous winds tomorrow. If you come upon a firefighter blocking a road, simply obey their direction without discussion. Don’t stop to ask questions. If you are detoured & are unfamiliar with the roads, go away from the firefighter, pull over and set your GPS.

Kids: Thank you so much for your help. We placed some 🥕 in the firehall and the 🐰 returned our 🚒

Everyone at your Bergen Fire Department wishes you and your family an awesome Easter Sunday.

[Bergen Fire Dept @BergenFireDept]

Kids: We need your help. A large bunny has commandeered one of our fire trucks. Please be on the look out.

[Bergen Fire Dept @BergenFireDept]

We know a lot of us are cooped up, eager to get out & tackle those chores. Your BFD team is working hard to proactively handle the Covid 19 crisis. Help us by not violating the NYS burn ban. It will take us, as well as PD, away from the pressing issues we face. JUST DON'T DO IT!

[Bergen Fire Dept @BergenFireDept]

Great LE/Fire/Ems collaboration on situational awareness. Thanks to @ChiefMCSONY for teaching us to protect ourselves while protecting others. Thank you to Liberty Pumps for the venue. #OneTeam @monroesheriffny @Sheriff_Baxter @LibertyPumps

Early Saturday morning extraction training. Great job to everyone who made the time to come do some training yesterday!
We got some time in using our Hurst tools and getting more familiar with potential extraction situations.

Be safe

FIREWORKS and grill safety are important to enjoying the holiday. Burns and fires can steal your independance. #roc @spencerportnews @WestsideNewsNY @Ameriburn @tntfireworks

Congrats to our member of the month Julia Menzie! Julia passed her EMT class and is a great teammate. “I was really interested in helping others and thought this was a cool way to do it and meet new friends. I have fun at the firehouse and hope more kids my age join."#JoinTheBFD
