About Us

To preserve life and property in the Village and Township of Arlington and portions of Leeds and Lowville in case of fire and other emergencies, and to promote through fire safety education the prevention of such fire and other emergencies. 

We are always looking for volunteers to help us make our vision a reality.

 Ask any volunteer firefighter why they accepted the challenges they do. What was the turning point in their decision to become a volunteer firefighter? Each one will tell you in their own words, that being a part of the fire department fulfills a basic and personal human need...the need to contribute to a worthwhile endeavor and to help others. As firefighters work to fulfill their need to help others, they also meet the ever growing needs of their community.
