  As the days get longer and the temps go higher the emergency service calls never take a break. The Mottville Fire Co responded to 17 alarms for the month of April. The calls broke down as follows. Three medical alarms, two brush fires, one utility problem, two alarm activations and two public service calls. 202 total fire fighters responded while spending 74.3 man hours away from home. We had a response average of 11.3 firefighters per alarm now totaling 70 for the year. Training hours were 12 for the month. Much of the time was spent on getting familiar with the new equipment we purchased for vehicle extrication and stabilization. The equipment was purchased to go on our new Rescue Pumper that was recently delivered to the fire station. Mounting equipment and training will continue through the month with the new Rescue Pumper going into service by the end of May. Please stop at the fire station any time to see the new truck.

      The Mottville Fire Company welcomes its 2 newest members to the department, James Parr and Chris Soprano became members in April. Dan Sheldon continues his run as top responder for the month making 15 of the alarms. The annual Mottville golf outing date has been set for September 5th at the Millstone golf club in Elbridge so save that date. The Mottville Fire Company is professionally staffed by volunteers.
