Kerhonkson-Accord First Aid

We don’t normally do this, but with Cinco de Mayo tomorrow, we wanted to take a moment to support a great local business who loves KAFAS, and truly knows about Hispanic culture and food.

📍 5000 Route 209 - Accord, NY

A family-run operation built on a love of cooking and community—and it shows in everything they do.

If you’re looking for a great authentic meal tomorrow, we highly recommend stopping by and supporting local.

With heavy hearts, we share the passing of retired K-9 Dozer, who crossed the Rainbow Bridge yesterday at the age of 14.

Dozer faithfully served the Ulster County Sheriff’s Office alongside his handler, Deputy Kyle Frano, from 2014 to 2019. Throughout his career, he brought great pride to the K-9 Unit—both in the field and in the community. He was a familiar face at countless demonstrations for local schools and businesses, always representing the unit with professionalism and heart.

During his service, Dozer was responsible for locating significant quantities of narcotics, including hundreds of decks of he**in and substantial amounts of co***ne. He also played a key role in tracking and apprehending multiple individuals involved in serious criminal activity.

Beyond the statistics, Dozer was a loyal partner, a protector, and a valued member of the law enforcement family.

We honor his dedicated service to the citizens of Ulster County and extend our deepest condolences to Deputy Frano and his family during this difficult time.

Rest easy, Dozer. You will never be forgotten. 🐾

Today we honor and remember Bill Liese, a dedicated member of the Town of Esopus Ambulance whose impact will never be forgotten.

Bill gave so much of himself in service to others — always showing up with quiet strength, compassion, and a deep commitment to helping those in need. His legacy is not just in the calls he answered, but in the lives he touched, the members he mentored, and the example he set every single day.

He was more than a responder — he was a friend, a steady presence, and a true embodiment of what it means to serve.

On behalf of all of us, we extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and the entire Esopus Ambulance community.

A life of service. A legacy of care. Forever remembered.

Rest easy, Bill. We have the watch from here. 🚑💙

Sue Legris, our Office Administrator, and Kelly O’Connor, our Bookkeeper, are truly the backbone of our administrative and financial operations. From managing the day-to-day administrative needs of the organization to ensuring accuracy, accountability, and organization behind the scenes, their work allows our crews to stay focused on what matters most: serving our community.

Their dedication, professionalism, and attention to detail do not go unnoticed. The strength and success of our agency is built not only in the field, but also in the office, and we are grateful for everything they do.

Please join us in thanking Sue and Kelly for their continued commitment to the Kerhonkson Accord First Aid Squad.
