The County of Chenango is a beautiful, rural agricultural community with numerous rolling hills and valleys. The Chenango County Bureau of Fire is dedicated to the safety and professional training of all 21 Fire and 22 EMS and First Responder agencies operating within Chenango County.
The members of these agencies are very dedicated individuals, most of whom volunteer their time and services to our community. These many dedicated women and men participate in countless hours of training and preparedness activities in the event of an emergency or disaster strikes within their jurisdiction.
We are very proud of all these individuals who are committed to our county and community. Without our volunteers and professional members the lives and property of our residences would be in grave jeopardy. I encourage you to contact your local Fire Department or Emergency Squad to learn more on how you can become involved or assist your local Emergency Services Agency.
The Chenango County Bureau of Fire is made up of many different divisons and responsibilities. Each of the 11 Deputy Coordinators has an assignment and oversees these programs. We have a Deputy Coordinator responsible for Administering the State and County Fire Training Program, Supervising the Fire Investigation Team which consists of 12 Certified Fire Investigators, other Deputy Coordinators oversee the Emergency Medical Services including providing EMS Training for our County Responders, Supervisor for Fire Prevention, Supervisor for Special Teams which include our County Search and Rescue Team, High Angle Team, Dive Team and County Hazmat Team and finally a Deputy Coordinator which helps to oversee our County's Communications System and working with each department to cooperatively purchase and standardize our agencies radio equipment.
