The Fishers Fire District in Victor, NY, is an essential part of our community, providing critical emergency response services to our residents. Covering 2/3’s of the Town of Victor. However, recent discussions by the Fishers Fire District Board of Commissioners indicate that there's a consideration to close our vital fire department. This decision could severely impact the safety and well-being of our community members.

Fishers Fire District is not just a couple of trucks and buildings; it represents the security and assurance our families rely on in emergencies. The department's swift response to fires, medical emergencies, and other crises has saved countless lives and protected our properties throughout the years. The community's trust and reliance on their local fire department cannot be understated.

Statistics have consistently demonstrated that faster response times significantly reduce the loss of life and property in emergencies. Fishers Fire District's current response time is commendable; but service and response times will drastically decrease should the department close.

The board must recognize that maintaining a fully operational fire department is not a luxury but a necessity for our town. The loss of this critical service would pose an unacceptable risk to Fishers residents, businesses, and visitors.

Urge the Fishers Fire District Board of Commissioners to prioritize the safety of our community. Keeping the Fishers Fire Department open and properly staffed should be a paramount concern for all.

The community knows that the Board of Commissioners needs to: 

Keep Victor Safe – Our community needs fast, local emergency response. Every second matters during an emergency.

Protect Public Safety – Closing Fishers Fire District will lead to longer 911 response times, putting lives at risk.

Don’t Reduce Our Firefighters – Reducing the number of trained professionals protecting our community is a direct threat to the safety of our families, homes, and businesses.

Support Your Public Safety Professionals – Firefighters and medics risk their lives every day for us. Now it’s time for us to stand with them.

Fishers Fire District is the only ALS first response fire agency in the county, one of the busiest departments, and often handles multiple emergencies at once. This is not the time to cut back—it’s the time to stand up.
