It is the mission of the Clay Volunteer Fire Department to provide the highest and most professional emergency response possible to the citizens of our community and Town of Clay. Emergency response includes saving lives, suppress and control fires, provide EMS services, and hazardous material recognition and response. Professional service includes fire prevention, education and other activities as deemes in the best interest of the Clay Volunteer Fire Department or the citizens we protect. The Clay Volunteer Fire Department was organized on February 19, 1917 as a Fire Protection District. We are 60 of your neighbors, friends and colleagues. We are men and women - married or single - we have full time jobs or go to school - but most importantly we work together to help protect our community. The Clay Fire Department covers 20 square miles. We currently operate out of two stations with one ladder truck, one heavy rescue, three engines, two EMS squads, a snowmobile and a boat. We answer the community's call for help on anything from a medical emergency...to a car accident...to a house fire - 24 hours a day...7 days a week...365 day a year. We participate in various activities around the county such as softball, pushball, golf and bowling tournaments. We host several community functions - Breakfast with Santa, Open House and Fire Prevention activities for local businesses, churches and pre-schools. In order to maintain our high standards and expertise in handling emergency situations, we hold weekly drills. We also attend training courses available from the New York State Academy of Fire Science, the Public Safety Institute at Onondaga County Community College, and the National Fire Academy in Emmitsburg, Maryland.
