More than 375 volunteer fire departments across New York State opened their doors — and their hearts — to inspire the next generation of firefighters. From fire truck tours and live demos to gear try-ons and EMT showcases, our volunteer firefighters gave their communities a firsthand look at the pride, professionalism, and purpose behind volunteer service. With New York’s fire departments mainly staffed by volunteers — and recruitment more important than ever — participation in RecruitNY is a powerful investment in the future of our fire service.
