The
Union Vale Fire District serves the Town of Union Vale,
with approximately 5000 residents. Due to a shortage of
volunteers during the day, we have had to hire an
outside vendor to give us ambulance coverage during the
weekday hours. We have approximately 80 volunteer
firefighters, fire police, EMTs, and drivers, not to
mention the auxiliary who support them. Help us
continue as a volunteer organization by donating some of
your time, (the district pays for all training and
equipment) and as an added bonus it will help keep your
fire taxes down.
Union Vale Fire District Launches New Website

I have fixed the District Forms Page. If you find
any link that is not working please let me know (secretary@uvfdny.com).
The PUBLIC VOTE for a referendum
requesting the ability to go out and borrow money to repair/renovate the truck
bays was voted down 45 to 44. The Board has decided to present another
Bond Referendum (Date: September 2nd, 2008) requesting to do repair and
renovations to our 50+ year old Station 1 so we do not have to put the repairs
in the regular budget which would cause a much larger per person tax increase.
Please Review the Powerpoint explaining the need
for the Bond Click here
for the PDF version of the Powerpoint (need ADOBE ACROBAT).
And if you have questions you can contact one of the Board Members or the
Secretary (secretary@uvfdny.com) and
she will forward your question to the correct person.
The Secretary has succeeded on learning how to put
pictures on properly. The puppy shots were her practicing and will be
replaced in the near future with real fire fighting shots.
Rescue Squad Roster has been moved to the District
Forms Page. On the Login page, for members only, is the Active Member
Sheets and LOSAP reports.
The new ambulance that the public approved in
2007 is on order and is expected this year.
The Board has an application in for another
FEMA Grant for new generators at both Firehouses. The Rescue Squad was
successful in their Sloper Grant Request.
I'm trying hard to keep the calendar up to
date. If anything is missing or wrong, just let me know (secretary@uvfdny.com).
