In a modern facility across the street, the fire department prides itself on its 2-3 minute response times for sending out the trucks and/or the Emergency Medical Systems vehicle. Education is a priority with the firefighters, and a recent trip to the local elementary school brought comments from bright-eyed third-graders such as “if you are stuck in a fire, you go to the window and yell HELP;” firefighters “hug you to protect you from falling metal and wood;” and don’t go back for pets because “your cat will get out of the house before you!”
The Fire Department is located in the Ronald E. Anderson Fire Station, 194 Pleasant Grove Road. Fire Chief George Tamborelle may be contacted at (607)266-7454. The Cayuga Heights Volunteer Fire Department also provides 24-hour emergency medical assistance and light rescue service. The Rescue Squad is trained and equipped to provide basic and advanced life support by New York State Certified Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) and Paramedics.
Fire Code Inspections
Coming Soon – iWorQ Permits – Fire Inspection
The Village is launching new software for Fire Inspections. Soon you will be able to view the progress of your Inspection at the above link. We look forward to providing a more seamless experience in the near future!
With the exception of one and two family dwellings, all buildings are subject to semi-annual (every other year) inspections for compliance with the Fire Code of New York State. Buildings used for commercial purposes will be inspected in even number years, and Multiple Housing Units will be inspected in odd number years. Places of Public Assembly, including Fraternities and Sororities, will be inspected every year.
