Mexico Volunteer Fire Station

Welcome to another exciting episode of Heroes Next Door - Station Cribs! In this installment, we venture to the heart of upper middle New York State to visit the extraordinary Mexico NY Fire Station. Prepare to be amazed as we take you on a captivating journey through the life and history of this incredible 100% volunteer fire company.
Joining us as our tour guide is none other than Patrick New, a dedicated firefighter and the EMS coordinator for the station. Patrick's passion for his community and the fire service shines through as he walks us through the station, revealing fascinating details about its origins and growth over the years.
This remarkable volunteer company responds to basic medical emergencies as a quick response unit, and they're equipped with some impressive fire apparatus, including a Rescue Engine, a Ladder Truck, a new Tanker/pumper, and the County's Air Unit. The dedication and commitment of the volunteers are truly commendable, and you'll be inspired to see how they come together to serve and protect their community.
If you're in the area and have ever considered assisting your community, joining the Mexico NY Fire Station might be the perfect solution. Patrick invites anyone interested to stop by on Thursday nights to fill out a simple application - no prior experience necessary. This station is all about teamwork and supporting each other in their mission to keep the community safe.
The fire station's grounds offer even more than just firefighting essentials. They've cleverly utilized their space to host their own fundraisers and community traditions like a "mini-fair." Imagine riding thrilling carnival rides, indulging in outstanding food, and enjoying some fantastic local music - all while contributing to a great cause.

[@praack4563]

[@sherrygantt2158]

Really enjoyed the video. Coming from a family of 3 generations. My dad, brother and nephew all volunteer firefighters at the same department. Fund raiders are necessary. The equipment is not cheap. Thanks young man for the tour. Thanks to each and everyone of you for your services. May God bless each and everyone.

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Glad you enjoyed it

I really miss the comradeship of my own Vol FD. I worked my way from riding the rear to Chief, then to the Commissioner. I’m so sad to see the decline of volunteerism today. My old DEPARTMENT is now all career and it kinda galls me that guys who wouldn’t volunteer, will fill job for a paycheck. The County also run an automatic Mutual Aid system for all calls in each Department to ensure sufficient manpower which still can’t fully staff a piece of apparatus at times.

NYS Volunteers are the best of the best

We agree!

[@fishingwithbryson5855]

It’s a very small station but bull head vfd in North Carolina is a pretty cool place they only got 3 trucks

[@chuckman231]

Another great video, a nice station and apparatus too. The counties in Delaware do the same thing with the Hazmat/Decon units. Each county has a team of volunteers and certain companies have county owned units to respond with. Same with Collapse/USAR.

[@HeroesNextDoor]

We are headed there in a couple weeks but we did not get the invites for those stations. Send the official invites to schedule the next trip

[@jamesgamer1838]

My little hometown Vassar michigan has a volunteer fire station. With some cool unique Riggs. I'm sure if you talk to the city. They'll give you a tour for sure

[@alexanderleach3365]

That is an awesome firehouse.

[@shanetaylor7369]

Man, I wish I had 1/2 the resources they have.

[@DrummerBoy200]

You should try going to see some Nassau County fire stations on Long Island. There are some good stations down here.

[@blakemiller6867]

Would really like to see you come back to Indiana and do Elkhart Fire Department Station 1 for station cribs. lots of history and lots of apparatus

[@Dtuba15]

Did not expect y’all to cover an Oswego area station!!!!!! Y’all should definitely do Oswego fire department next time your in the area.

[@lleroy8929]

Farva is in charge of the place? The Vermont State police must not have worked out. Good to see he is doing well! 😉

[@briankelsey3028]

[@speedball10169]

Gotta come downstate to the lower hudson valley. Things are WAY different down in Westchester/Putnam Counties

[@mr.j6304]

Another thing to add I think that the reason why we're seeing the last fire departments in parades and other events is because it becomes too costly with the price of fuel the increase of everything the lack of funding Nationwide it's just a problem and then not only that I think a lot of people get caught up into their everyday lives and they don't want to do a lot of extra stuff when they are off and I think if they had more people to volunteer time and if they had some of the apparatus has that could be used in parades that's what the volunteers should do but unfortunately a lot of states have just gotten rid of their volunteer firefighter programs. Which I think it's sad because that was really what drouin people from the community to help out the fire department and eventually decided they wanted to make a full-time career out of it just depending on where you are at that's why I like states that have a mixture of volunteers and full-time and part-time personnel and especially if you have to leave the state where you were volunteering at have to go to another one temporarily and then they don't have anything for you to do it sucks.

[@timplumb21]

You guys really need to check out the new Alpine Township fire station in Kent County Michigan or any Plainfield Township Fire Station in Kent County Michigan or the Maple Rapids fire department in Clinton County Michigan

[@johnlebzelter4208]

@timplumb21 he needs to be invited.

[@chillies4156]

Nice video

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Thanks

[@gwencrawford737]

This looks like a volunteer department that's 'doing it right'. I always tell my people that fund raising and community relations, are the foundation of what sets a department up to be successful. Some of them have swallowed the "Idiot Kool-aid" served up foolishly by some of our calling's 'biggest names', that say that volunteers shouldn't have to fund raise, and that it should all be on taxes, and you all know the rest of that spiel. It's not hard to counter that nonsense, when it's 'go time', and our firefighters show up looking squared away, and then, moving with a sense of purpose, get water on the fire, establish supplies, execute searches, and get a handle on things. It's even easier to counter that nonsense when I can point to their turnouts and apparatus, like our recent rapid intervention vehicles with UHP, and say, "Your fund raising efforts and your ability to be disciplined with the department's money, is what bought those things. Every bingo card you sell, is pennies to a bank that sets us up to make this department better. Every citizen you meet face to face and get to know, is an investment that helps us on the scene, and it helps us when we pass the hat around town for donations." It looks like Mexico VFD's got their act together and it's very refreshing to see it!

Great video, do you have plans of doing company tours in other countries? Maybe coming to South America

[@HeroesNextDoor]

We need to get those invites. We would love to come see. Also need some more financial support to go that far

[@Lycan683]

Child photo is hilarious 😂

[@QemeH]

In our station we have a "wall of fame" for all former chiefs of our station (and the current one, obviously), too. One person, however, managed to get on that wall twice - and not because he ran the departement for to non-consecutive times. No, he's in the photo of his grandfather as station chief - or rather, a photo of him is in the photo of his grandfather as station chief. That is, because his grandfather had a picture of his grandchildren pinned on his helmet. You can't really make out anything in the official photograph except for a tiny piece of paper on the helmet, but it's a good test for how long volunteers have been with us. "Do you know which station chief is _technically_ up on the board twice?" :)

[@adenfire1157]

Could you come to Garden Spot fire in Rescue? I could try to get my chief contacted with you

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Make sure to send the invite to [e-mail]

Please dont use rock music in the background. I cant follow what the guys are saying.

[@johnlebzelter4208]

@lovedfriend2020 It’s not your channel, it’s Mike’s. So if he wants to play “rock music” let him. If you don’t like it, then leave the channel.

[@kennethlang5480]

Nice looking Volunteer Fire company.

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Yes they are!

[@timplumb21]

It's very inefficient and time-consuming for every volunteer to go to the station for a call you only need one person to drive the rig it's obviously going to be faster response time if one person gets their takes the rig to the scene and other volunteers take their personal vehicles there instead of having to go all the way to the station and wasting time forgot enough guys to get there to fill up a truck before it rolls out one guy they're roll the truck out everybody drive to the scene from their home that's the way they do it here in Michigan sometimes ships do that stupid s*** where they wait for everybody to get to the station and get on a truck and go and those people have all lost the houses that were on fire every single time one hundred percent total losses because you f****** are so goddamn slow getting to the scene
