Serving Gardiner Since 1912

For more than a century, the Gardiner Fire Department has been responding to fire emergencies in our town. In 1972, we added our rescue squad with volunteer EMT's responding to medical emergencies, traffic accidents, and rescue operations. We're proud to be a part of the more than 25,000 volunteer fire departments across the country.

Sixty-five percent of all firefighters in the U.S. are volunteers, which means the bulk of emergency response depends on the sacrifices of everyday citizens. We'd love to add you to our team of growing volunteers. No experience required. We provide free New York State sponsored training. Reach out today, to learn how you can join today.
