NYS VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER

The average age of your volunteer department is getting older as time passes. We need your help to continue to serve the Skaneateles community with quality care and service. Please see any firefighter or call the Dispatch office for an application.


Dispatch Center Has Moved!

Pursuant to a recommendation by a non-partisan advisory committee, and subsequent votes by both the Village and Town Boards, the Skaneateles Communications Center has moved to a new location at the recently constructed SFD Station 1. The dispatcher may be seen in the space next to the bay doors on Kane Avenue, where they have window views to the outside, inside to the bay area and immediate hallway outside their door, plus security cameras to every entrance/exit for the building. The latter allows the on-duty dispatcher to control access to the building.

The Center received a new dispatch console, base radios, and a wireless phone and radio system that allows continuous service in the event of a power outage. Total cost for the move stands at $73,850.

No decision has been made on what changes, if any, will occur once the Center ties into the County's system.
