Bushnell's Basin Fire Dept.

What Bushnell's Basin Fire Dept. does

Bushnell's Basin Fire Department, legally known as Bushnell's Basin Fire Association, Incorporated, is a 100% volunteer, 501(c)(3) tax-exempt fire and emergency response organization established in 1940 and headquartered at 661 Kreag Road, Pittsford, New York. The department protects the southwest area of the Town of Perinton in Monroe County, a primarily residential district of approximately 12,000 residents that also encompasses three of the heaviest-traveled highways in the county (Routes 31, 96, and 490). It is staffed by more than 80 trained volunteers operating out of two fire stations with a fleet of nine emergency vehicles, including a 2011 KME Quint, a 2021 Pierce Enforcer engine, and a 2016 Spartan SVI rescue.

The department delivers a portfolio of emergency services including fire suppression, rescue operations, hazardous materials response, mutual aid to neighboring departments, and non-transport emergency medical services, responding to 555 calls for assistance in 2021. Beyond emergency response, it runs an ongoing Public Education program that reached more than 700 area children in 2021 and provides safety training to local adult groups and business employees, with outreach supported by a hands-on fire extinguisher simulator and hose-spray activities.

The business model is donation-funded: the organization has no paid staff, generates no commercial revenue, and relies entirely on community contributions processed via PayPal and credit/debit cards to maintain equipment, purchase new apparatus, and fund volunteer training. It is governed by civil officers (President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Board of Trustees) and line officers (Chief through Lieutenant ranks), maintains close coordination with the Perinton Volunteer Ambulance Corps, and operates as a member of the 3rd Battalion of Monroe County. The department also benefits from a Monroe County property tax exemption offering a 10% assessed-value reduction for volunteer service.
