Due to the much anticipated construction project at the Fayetteville Fire Department we have moved to 540 East Genesee Street, the former home of Jay's Village Chevrolet.  The members of the department put forth an incredible amount of work to make the move in such a short time frame.  Thank you to everyone for all your efforts.

Station 20 couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate EMS week than by minting 3 new EMT-B's.

The three started the class in January at the Taunton Fire Station and saw the effort through together as a team. Way to go guys!!

Members traveled to the Cayuga County Training Tower, located in Auburn, to complete a live fire training session.  Beautiful weather and a great training facility made for a very productive Saturday with multiple evolutions completed. 

Approximately 30 career and volunteer members from the Fayetteville, Manlius and DeWitt Fire Departments gathered to visit the final resting places of our Fallen Brothers, TJ Lynch and John Ginochetti. Brief memorial services were held at each site. TJ and Gino made the ultimate sacrifice at a residential fire on this date, eight years ago. We will continue to meet annually to keep the memory of these brave souls alive. Rest in Peace, Brothers.

Fayetteville Fire Department has been saddened by the unexpected passing of past Assistant Fire Chief Roy McCarty.  Chief McCarty's numerous years as an assistant chief were highlighted by an American LaFrance Award for rescuing two girls from a fire on Cleveland Blvd.  Chief McCarty continued to be a presence at the fire station well after his service as an active firefighter ended.  His knowledge and dedication will be missed.
