The Borodino Volunteer Fire Department is a rural, not-for-profit 501c3 agency located in the CNY Finger Lakes Region in the town of Spafford, New York. We are a family-focused, community-oriented department and our volunteers are friends, neighbors, and members of our own community. Borodino's First Responders are responsible for providing emergency medical care and fire protection to 17.5 square miles of the town of Spafford and its adjoining districts. Our fire district includes community residences, small businesses, and farms in addition to shorelines on both Otisco and Skaneateles Lakes. Remarkably, the population of our district almost doubles over the summer months due to the occupancy of seasonal homes and camps along the lakes. Even though Borodino's district serves many lake-front properties, most fire emergencies require us to haul our own water supply since most of our residents are on wells and main lines and fire hydrants are limited.
Our department currently has 18 Firefighters/EMTs and 40 Associates ranging in age from 10 to 94 years-old. Our active duty firefighters and EMTs are available 24/7 and respond to approximately 150 calls per year. Medical emergencies make up approximately 70% of these calls, while 30% consist of fire suppression and/or motor vehicle emergencies. Borodino also provides mutual aid to neighboring fire districts when requested.
The Borodino Fire Department is always looking for dedicated Firefighters to join our team! Some of our members come fully trained, while others are brand new to the fire service. Borodino Fire Department ensures that all of our members receive the required coursework, equipment, and hands-on training necessary to safely perform the duties required. Our first responders have on-going opportunities to learn and apply new skills in controlled environments and are carefully mentored by seasoned officers as they learn to serve the community safely and professionally.
Medics, EMTs, and Scene Support/Rehab personnel are in high demand and Borodino Fire Department is no exception to this! Our medical staff has training in basic, intermediate, and advanced skills, while others are taking introductory courses for the first time. Select coursework, in addition to on-going medical training, is provided by our department so members of all skill levels can provide quality care when emergencies arise.
Associate Members perform a variety of "non-emergency" functions within the department including working at our famous Borodino Pancake Breakfast, public relations, fund raising events, community children's parties, etc.. We are always looking for new Associate Members that have special skills to share or simply want to give back to their community!
