It’s been a busy few days for FLFD, so this thank-you is coming a little later than we’d like. Sunday is a big part of what carried us through this challenging week.

What a day at Bison Trace! We were blown away by how many of you came out to support the Findley Lake and Clymer fire departments. Good weather, good friends, good food, and a setting that’s hard to beat. It was the kind of afternoon that reminds us why we love calling this place home.

Several people made this happen, and they deserve an EXTRA LOUD thank you! Show your love in the comments for the following:

* Bri Lyrnn, for setting the tone with live music that kept the whole place moving.

* Amanda Meeder, for giving up her day off to jump into the kitchen and crank out pizzas.

* Matt and Leigh Wells of Bison Trace, who came up with the idea and graciously donated their time, b**r, and food to give back to their local first responders.

In just a few hours, this community raised $2,683. Split right down the middle, that’s $1,341.50 for each department.

We love serving this community. But what stays with us most is how many times you’ve shown up for us. Sunday was one more reminder, and it came right when we needed it.

Winter is coming, and we’re ready for it. Energized, grateful, and here whenever you need us.

HOW TO HELP | Bailey Hill Rd. Fire

One of our own FLVFD members and their family are facing a very hard week after losing their home in yesterday’s fire on Bailey Hill Rd. This is a family that gives back to Findley Lake through volunteer service, and now we have a chance to pay some of that forward.

To give the family a chance to choose a few things that are truly their own, we’re asking for gift cards or cash donations. Gift cards to the following stores would be especially helpful:

* Boot Barn
* Old Navy
* Walmart
* Home Depot
* Runnings

There are two easy ways to give:

1. Drop off gift cards or cash at the Findley Lake Fire Hall today through Friday, between 5:00 and 7:00 PM.

2. Send a donation through Venmo to or scan the QR code below. Please add “Bailey Hill” in the note so every dollar goes directly to the family. If you’d rather your gift not appear on your Venmo feed, just set the payment to private before you send it.

No donation is too small, and every contribution helps this family put one more piece back in place.

We thank you all for your kindness and support. This is an incredible community that shows up for one another. Let’s show this family what Findley Lake STRONG looks like.

INCIDENT UPDATE | Structure Fire

Monday, at approximately 9:51 AM, the Findley Lake Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched to a reported structure fire on Bailey Hill Rd. Upon arrival, primary crews encountered a working fire showing from the residential home. Fortunately, no people were inside the home at the time. Command immediately initiated a fire attack while incoming units established a water supply and conducted primary search operations. Thanks to the rapid response and aggressive attack by all personnel, the fire was brought under control and prevented from spreading to nearby structures.

This residence was home to one of our FLVFD members, and we ask that you keep their family in your thoughts during this difficult time. We will be coordinating a clothing drive for the family. Details on what and how you can help will be shared later today.

We would like to express our sincere appreciation to our neighboring departments and partner agencies who assisted on scene:
- Stanley Hose Company (Sherman)
- South Ripley VFD
- Clymer VFD
- Chautauqua County EMS
- Chautauqua County Sheriff
- NYSP

We also want to thank our community members for yielding to emergency vehicles and keeping the area clear for responding units.

Join us for a special event this Sunday, October 25!

Our friends at Bison Trace Luxury Camping have graciously offered to host an end-of-season fundraiser. Enjoy free draft b**r and pizza (while supplies last) and give what you can. The event runs from 2 to 6 PM, and 100% of the proceeds will be split evenly between the Findley Lake Fire Department and the Clymer Fire Department.

Come soak up the last of the beautiful fall weather at 9968 King Rd. in Clymer and support a cause that matters close to home. We hope to see you there!

Over the weekend, we gathered for our annual banquet to celebrate the people who make this department what it is: our members, mutual aid partners, and friends across Chautauqua County who stand with us year after year. A special thank-you to Senator George Borrello and his District Representative, Dalton Anthony, who joined us on the Senator’s behalf and shared kind words in support of the important work our volunteers do.

Every single member of the FLFD has an impact on this department and our community. We don’t do this work for the recognition. We do it because we care, and we can. The annual banquet is our chance to pause and celebrate the hard work and dedication of our members and community supporters, because it is the collective contributions of many that keep this department running and ready for the next call. This year, we also gave special recognition to two members who have gone above and beyond for our department.

Marcy received the Lifetime Achievement Award. Having served the department for decades (and counting), Marcy has worn many hats throughout her tenure, including being one of our first EMTs, treasurer for more than 15 years, secretary, E-911 coordinator, board of directors secretary, and fundraising chair. Her countless volunteer hours have shaped our fundraising and community events for decades, and continue to do so.

Charles received the Fireperson of the Year Award. Since joining in 2023, Charles has become an EMT and EMT Captain, earned his water rescue, interior, and exterior firefighter certifications, and secured grant funding for the department. He is also one of the go-to people for whatever the department needs, whenever it needs it.

With well over 100 emergency calls answered this year already, the FLFD is well positioned to support our community heading into 2027. None of this work would be possible without your generous contributions and the dedication of our volunteers. Thank you for standing with us.

Today, we were proud to join our mutual aid partners at Stanley Hose Company for a visit to Sherman Central School in honor of Fire Prevention Week.

Each year, fire departments, schools, and families come together to share simple habits that help keep homes and communities safe.

This year's theme is "Charge into Fire Safety: Safe Charging Is a Superpower." The focus is on lithium-ion batteries, the kind found in phones, tablets, laptops, e-bikes, and power tools. These batteries are part of everyday life, and a few good charging habits go a long way:

* Use a charger that came with or is approved for your device.
* Charge devices on hard surfaces (not beds, couches, etc.).
* Unplug once the device is fully charged.
* Stop using any battery that's swollen, unusually hot, or smells odd.

We spent time with the students talking about safe charging and fire safety at home, and we brought along our mini pumper and fire boat for a closer look. The questions were great, and the enthusiasm was even better.

Thank you to Sherman Central School for welcoming us, and to Stanley Hose Company for partnering with us. We hope every student went home ready to share what they learned with their families.

Twenty-five years ago today, 343 firefighters climbed the stairs when everyone else was coming down. They were volunteers and career firefighters, EMTs and paramedics, police officers and everyday people who ran toward danger because someone needed help.

Today, we remember them.

We also honor the men and women who still answer the call — in big cities and in small towns like ours. Every firefighter who pulls on their gear at 2 a.m., every EMT who leaves a family dinner when the pager goes off, carries a piece of that same commitment.

To those we lost on September 11, 2001: we will never forget you.

To those who continue to serve: thank you.

Great work by all FLFD members who participated in our full-scale boat incident command and water rescue training last night! We're thrilled to announce that our drowning "victim" survived and will make a full recovery 😂. Special thanks to Charles Armstrong for playing the patient and taking a dip in the lake last night!

UPDATE: we found the owner and little Gus, Gus is now home and safe. Thank you for all the shares!

Anyone missing a kitty? This fella found refuge in the FLFD, but unfortunately, we don’t allow long-term tenants. It’s a VERY friendly cat, looks young. Please contact Jessy at 440-487-2171 if you have any information on a potential owner. Thank you!
