Whether outside on land or water, lightning kills more American's than hurricanes, tornadoes and floods. If you hear thunder, you may be close enough to be hit by lightning, even if the sky is clear. Lightning can easily travel 10 miles from a storm. More than half of lightning deaths occur after the thunderstorm has passed or subsided. After a storm has passed, the danger of lightning strikes remains for approximately 30 minutes. Click here to learn more about staying safe during a storm. Click here to visit our fire safety page! NYM Dedicates New Truck This 2010 Chevrolet Suburban was purchased through a $39,999.27 EMS Truck Grant made possible by the Town of New Hartford. It was monies from mitigation for development along the French Road corridor. This money was intended for use for public safety. Incidentally, the light bar on top was included in the purchase price of the vehicle. ...So as you can see at this dedication, to date no Village of New York Mills Fire Department Budget monies have been used for this vehicle. It was solely funded from the work of the Town of New Hartford and your donations to the fire department. The members of the New York Mills Fire Department are proud to present this new emergency vehicle to the New York Mills Village Board and all those that may be in need of the emergency services we may have to provide to them.
