Spencertown Fire Company

Spencertown Fire Company Volunteer Fire Company The Spencertown Fire Company, Inc. It is one of two fire stations that provide fire protection for the Austerlitz Fire District.

(SFC), was established in 1917 and is located just outside the hamlet of Spencertown, which is part of the Town of Austerlitz in New York State. The Town of Austerlitz is approximately 48 square miles in the northeast section of Columbia County that borders Berkshire County Massachusetts. There are about 45 Spencertown Fire Company members, two thirds of which are active firefighters. The current fire station was built on five acres of land. It was completed in 2001 and consists of four truck bays, a large kitchen, handicapped lift, meeting/conference room, and small social room maintained with funds left by a deceased company member. The Spencertown fire station houses one 4WD Engine, one 2000 gallon Tanker, one 4WD Rescue Truck and one 4WD Brush Truck. Along with the Austerlitz Fire Company located 6 miles to the east, the SFC serves 1700 residents who reside in the Town of Austerlitz, and that part of the Town of Hillsdale which is in the Green River Fire District. The fire district has two large campgrounds and two highly traveled highways running its length, (Taconic State Parkway & NYS Rte 22) and several thousand acres of state forest land open for outdoor activities. In addition to fire protection, when dispatched, the Spencertown Fire Company provides fire district residents with limited emergency medical assistance in basic first aid and CPR/AED. The Spencertown Fire Company has an active Auxiliary. In addition to supporting firefighter activities, auxiliary members hold community events and dinners. Since 1985, proceeds from the fire company’s August Beef BBQ go toward a $1000 (now $1,500) Scholarship that is awarded every year to a graduating college bound young adult who resides in the SFC service area. Having many 30, 40 and 50 year members, the fire company has a long history of service to the community. Responding to approximately 100 emergency calls each year, the volunteers of the Spencertown Fire Company, Inc. work and train hard to provide the best emergency service possible.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Retired Chief Robert Czerwinski.

Chief Czerwinski passed away this morning after a courageous battle with job-related cancer.

Those who had the privilege of knowing Chief Czerwinski understand the profound impact he had—not only on the City of Pittsfield Fire Department, where he served with honor and distinction, but also on the firefighting community throughout our county. His leadership, dedication, and unwavering commitment to the fire service left a lasting mark on all of us.

Please keep Chief Czerwinski, his family, and his extended fire service family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Rest easy, Chief. We’ve got it from here.
