The City of Albany has unique financial struggles, with a large portion of properties that pay little to no tax money, and often times require higher than normal emergency responses.

Fortunately, NYS has made it a priority to invest additional funds into the City of Albany. We recognize Albany Mayor Dr. Dorcey Applyrs, and others, for their advocacy to shore up Albany’s financial needs.

We encourage city leadership to invest in Fire/EMS Department technology, training, personnel, equipment and facilities to continue to provide higher level of services annually.
