Join the Movement RecruitNY 2023
Dear Community Members,
As part of the annual statewide initiative RecruitNY, the Bushnell’s Basin Fire Department is inviting you to meet your volunteer firefighters at Hitching Post Plaza on Friday, April 21, 2023. We will be there from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. (just look for the big red trucks).
This is a terrific opportunity to get to know your local firefighters and learn more about the important work they do in our community. You’ll have a chance to ask questions and find out how you can get involved in supporting our fire department.
Fill out an entry form while you’re there for a chance to win a free Pontillo’s pizza that will be delivered to you by hand in a firetruck.
We hope you can join us for this special event.

Earl Adams 2nd Annual Memorial Blood Drive
Help us celebrate the life of Earl Adams by donating blood. In addition to being a U.S. Navy veteran and a volunteer firefighter at the Bushnell’s Basin Fire Department for thirty-seven years, Adams was a lifelong blood donor whose first donation went to a little boy fighting leukemia.
Your blood is needed for many different kinds of patients. From a young child with a rare blood disorder to a family member fighting cancer, or even a friend involved in a car accident. Please schedule an appointment to donate at this special blood drive. You’ll feel good knowing you’ve helped change the lives of patients in need.
