Fayetteville Fire/EMS

What Fayetteville Fire/EMS does

Fayetteville Fire & EMS (Station 20) is a combination fire and emergency medical services department serving the Village of Fayetteville and Eastern Onondaga County, New York. Established in 1845, the department operates as a municipal public-safety entity blending approximately 23 full-time and part-time career personnel with 60-plus volunteers, supplemented by a Live-In Program that houses college students from Onondaga Community College, SUNY Upstate, LeMoyne College, and Syracuse University in exchange for volunteer service. Core service delivery relies on Engine 20, Ladder 20, Squad 20, three ground ambulances (20-A1/A2/A3), and Medic 20, providing fire suppression, advanced life support, specialized rescue, and hazardous-materials response on a 24/7/365 basis.

The department's product surface extends beyond emergency response to a suite of free or low-cost community programs: car-seat inspection by seven NY-certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians, smoke and carbon-monoxide detector installation through an American Red Cross Home Fire Campaign partnership, CPR/AED training at $20 per person, Knox Box rapid-entry system administration, fire-prevention education including a state-of-the-art trailer deployed in the Fayetteville-Manlius School District, and code enforcement performed by twelve NY State-certified Building Safety Inspectors. Operational scale is approximately 4,000 calls for service per year, with 2025 call volume of 3,546 runs (1,043 fire, 2,503 EMS) versus 3,058 runs in 2024.

Funding flows through three channels: municipal tax appropriations from the Village of Fayetteville, tax-deductible community donations (online and mail), and employment-related revenue from career staff payroll. The non-profit Fayetteville Firemen's Association supplements member support and charitable fundraising. The department does not sell services to external customers in the commercial sense and does not disclose financial results. Capital intensity is notable—apparatus replacement runs $550,000 for a pumper (plus $100,000–$150,000 equipment) and approximately $930,000 for an aerial platform (plus $150,000–$200,000 equipment), with a fully equipped ambulance costing roughly $293,000.
