LIVERPOOL VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT INC

What LIVERPOOL VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT INC does

Liverpool Volunteer Fire Department Inc is a 100% volunteer, nonprofit fire department incorporated in New York State in 1889, providing emergency services to the Village of Liverpool and parts of the Town of Salina. Its core offerings are fire suppression, emergency medical services (EMS/EMT), vehicle accident response, and water rescue, delivered through integration with the Onondaga County 911 dispatch system and reciprocal mutual-aid arrangements with neighboring departments such as Moyers Corners Station 3. The department responds to approximately 1,700 calls annually and maintains a documented leadership lineage going back to its founding.

The organization is funded through municipal appropriations and community donations rather than user fees, and it does not charge residents for emergency response. It runs structured talent-development programs — a Bunk-in residential training program, an Explorer Program for students aged 14-15, and a Junior Firefighter Program for students aged 16-17 — alongside community engagement such as the LEON festival and school career days. In February 2025 it announced its first paid labor model, hiring part-time Firefighter/EMTs on hourly wages for shifts capped at 30 hours per week, signaling an incremental departure from a strictly volunteer staffing model. Leadership is structured as a Chief (currently Matt Manley, returned Feb 2024) supported by a 1st Assistant Chief, Treasurer, and historical officer roles.
