Fire Services

Mission

The mission of Cayuga County Fire Services is to continually facilitate Communication, Cooperation and Collaboration between Cayuga County Emergency Services, the New York State Office of Fire Prevention and Control, the 28 Fire Departments in Cayuga County (both paid and volunteer), and our contiguous County mutual aid Fire Service partners.

Units & Programs

Under the umbrella of Fire Services, there are several special units and programs that are monitored, managed, and supported. View the County Fire Agencies to find out more about specialized programs.

Impact of Volunteers

The impact of Fire Services is substantial across the County. All of Cayuga County, except the City of Auburn, rely on the dedicated service of Volunteers. These dedicated volunteers have come to rely upon the services and support of Fire Services to carry out their local mission of protecting their communities.

Reward
