Members of the Broadalbin-Kennyetto Fire Company passed NYS IFO (Interior Firefighting Operations) training on Tuesday, November 18th. IFO training is a New York State certification course for firefighters who have completed the BEFO (Basic Exterior Firefighting Operations) course. This advanced training prepares them to operate as an interior-structural firefighter, performing tasks inside burning buildings by covering use of SCBA (Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus) and related interior skills. The IFO course includes both classroom instruction and hands-on practical training to meet State and Federal standards for interior firefighting. Congratulations to BKFC Firefighters: Paula Burke, Austin Larimore, Lola Robinson, and Matt Wilson!

Help Wanted! Apply Within

All volunteer fire departments need help. We’ve heard all the excuses. I can’t commit to (fill in the blank), I’m not always available, I’m too young/old, I don’t know anything about it... They are just excuses. We are all volunteers. We can when we can and we can’t when we can’t. This is an incredible job you get paid for in ways that aren’t money. If you’ve ever thought about it, contact the Broadalbin-Kennyetto Fire Company. The hardest part is taking the initiative to look into it. We all live in the communities we serve. How can you make a difference? Visit the BKFC firehouse any Monday at 7pm, 14 Pine Street, Broadalbin OR call 518-883-3611 OR email us: BKFCRecruit@gmail.com

Congratulations!
