Houghton Volunteer Fire Department and Ambulance Service

Houghton Volunteer Fire Department and Ambulance Service Proudly serving the hamlet of Houghton, town of Caneadea and neighboring communities. We offer a variety of ways to be involved and a number of benefits.

The Houghton Volunteer Fire Department and Ambulance Service has a long and proud tradition of service to the hamlet of Houghton, the town of Caneadea, and neighboring communities in Allegany County, New York. We are dedicated to providing emergency services of many types to our neighbors in times of need. However, this tradition of service has only been possible through the participation of many

dedicated volunteers. We are always seeking those individuals interested in serving their community. Currently, our greatest need is more community members who are willing to serve as EMTs or CFRs, ambulance drivers, and firefighters. We also rely greatly on student EMTs and work to recruit them annually. For more information on the roles available in the department, how to become a member, membership benefits, etc...visit our website www.houghtonvfd.org.

🔥 It's Fire Prevention Week! 🔥
Your safety is our priority. This week is all about raising awareness and promoting safety, and we are excited to share it with you!

Quick Tips:
Consider buying a combined smoke and carbon monoxide alarm.
Install more than one smoke alarm. You need several throughout your residence, not just near the kitchen.
Test your smoke alarms every month.
Replace smoke alarms every 8-10 years.
Have a home fire escape plan and practice it twice a year.

If anyone has any unused medications they would like to get rid of, this is a great opportunity!

This afternoon our Junior Firefighters trained with other Juniors from Wiscoy-Rossburg Fire Co., Inc. and Fillmore Fire Department. Led by a wealth of knowledge provided by senior firefighters from all three departments, the Junior Firefighters practiced water supply and nozzle operations. 🚒🧑‍🚒💦

We are grateful to have them be a part of our departments, building valuable character while serving their communities.

If you know of a young man or woman (minimum age of 14 years old) who would like to become a junior firefighter, message us or one of these great fire departments.

It is with heavy hearts that we report the passing of Past Chief and Lifetime Member Ange Szymanski. Ange was a dedicated 30 year member of HVFD, an ambulance driver and board member for HVAS and served as Allegany County Fire Investigator, FI-10.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Ange’s wife and family as they mourn this sudden loss.
