December 2007

It is with deep regret that we report the passing on Thursday December 6 of Paul Rounds, one of our dedicated emeritus members. You can view Paul's full obituary here.

In a week of sorrow, we have one very exciting piece of news to report: Jeremy was released from the hospital on Friday and was even able to attend the benefit being held in his honor at Buisch's Bullpen. He will undergo physical therapy locally and work to continue his incredible recovery. Thanks again to everyone for your support.

We would like to thank everyone for your continued support as Jeremy and Zach continue to improve and prove that their spirit is truly unbreakable. Our events page will be updated regularly with fundraising events for Jeremy as plans are solidified.
We would like to thank everyone in our wonderful community for making our Breakfast fundraiser at the Moose Lodge a wonderful success. Many donations were received on Jeremy's behalf and our membership voted to donate the entire proceeds of the Breakfast to Jeremy and family. Our department, along with the entire Hoffman family, are humbled by and truly grateful for your support.

It is with heavy, but hopeful hearts that we announce injuries to two of our dedicated members. Second Assistant Chief Jeremy Hoffman and Firefighter/EMT Zach Williams were involved in a serious motor vehicle accident last night. Zach suffered arm injuries and was transported via ambulance to Arnot Ogden where he was treated and later released. Jeremy suffered pelvic and spinal injuries, and after being flown to Arnot Ogden via helicopter, was flown today to Upstate Medical for treatment. We ask that you keep both them and their families in your thoughts and prayers.
The Hoffman family has created a blog to provide updates on Jeremy's condition: Jeremy's Updates .

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the members of the Montour Falls Fire Department and Schuyler Ambulance for their assistance with this difficult call.

Press Release regarding unsolicited fundraising phone calls. Please be aware that while we do not solicit funds over the phone, there are other legitimate organizations that do. If you should ever question the legitimacy of a phone solicitation, please contact your local authorities before releasing any information.

We would like to thank our community as well as those who passed through on NASCAR weekend for their assistance and support in making our fundraising events a major success. Through their generosity we were able to raise approximately $1000 for our Chicken BBQ and about $4229 for Hit The Boot. We would be unable to provide the level of protection that we do without the solid support of our community. Thank you.

It is with a great deal of pride that we recognize the accomplishments of our very own Firefighter/EMT and Treasurer, Rebecca Franklin as she becomes the first female president of the Central New York Fireman's Association. We hope you will join us in offering her congratulations and support as she begins her exciting new role in this organization.
