What we do
The Saint Remy Volunteer Fire Department provides emergency services to
the residents of Saint Remy, New Salem, Ulster Park, Union Center, and the
areas in between.
We operate out of two stations and cover about seven square miles of territory.
Our district is about ten miles from end to end. This is a mostly residential
and rural area, with some religeous facilities, one large manufacturing complex,
and many home businesses. The east central part of the district is occupied
by "Snake Hill" and the south east corner by Shaupeneak mountain. The New
York Central Railroad is our eastern boundry and the Rondout Creek makes up
our northern and western boundries.

EMS in our township is provided by the capable hands of the Town of
Esopus Volunteer Ambulance Squad. We assist them when they request our help.
We are dispatched through a centralized County Emergency Communications
Center via pager and radio. Calls come in to the center through an enhanced
911 system which offers immediate trace and display of the caller's location.
If the caller is unable to speak we still know where to respond. The ECC handles
dispatch and coordination of Fire, EMS and Police for the county.
The fire service operates on five radio frequencys
plus a pager frequency, all on low band. Some companies in the county have
additional high band frequencys at their disposal.
