As you may already know, The Ashland Fire Department suffered a major loss recently, losing
it's station and all apparatus. These units are shown below.
Currently, the AFD
is using an ETA graciously loaned to them by the Catskill Fire Department. Also, a 1988 Ford Heavy Rescue has been donated
to them by the Onondaga Indian Reservation. These two units are in service, running out of the Ashland Highway Garage. They
are pictured below.
As of Sunday, Feb. 21, the old building has been completely removed, and
plans are in the works for a new building.
The Ashland Rescue Squad also lost it's
newest ambulance, Unit 71-1, a 2008 Ford/Braun Ambulance. Within the last two weeks, it was replaced by a 2009 Ford E450/Braun
Unit. So they are back to full strength of two Ambulances, currently housed at a business in Town.
