The Minoa Fire Department proudly recognizes Al Tompkins, one of its most dedicated and constructive members as he transitions from Active status to Life Membership. 

To Members of the Minoa Fire Department and Community: Please join me in congratulating Zach Van Auken on his promotion to Fire Captain. Zach has shown strong leadership, professionalism, and dedication to our department and community. We look forward to his continued contributions in this new role. Congratulations, Captain Van Auken! — Chief Donald D. Grevelding, Jr.

More than 165 vehicles — fire apparatus, ambulances, decorated floats, and even illuminated heavy equipment — made their way through the village streets, cheered on by an enthusiastic crowd. The parade concluded with a tree-lighting ceremony in the village square, followed by family activities at the Baldwinsville Public Library, including music, crafts, and photos with Mr. and Mrs. Claus.

We are looking for motivated, passionate, hard-working people to provide an essential service. Give back to your community by helping those who need help. You can become a well-trained firefighter or EMT. With free training courses, you’ll have the opportunity to earn professional, national, and state certifications.

We give firehouse tours, community demonstrations, and open houses.
