The members of the Gallupville Fire Department and the Wright Fire District would like to pass on our condolences to the members of the Berne Fire Company and Berne Fire District on the passing of Active Life Member Art Shultes. Art has held many positions in the Department and District over his more than 70 years of service. Art will be remembered for his dedication and service not only to his own District, but all of those mutual aid Districts around the Hilltown's. Thank you Art and thank you to his family for sharing his time with all of us.

Please take time today to pay tribute to ALL of those who lost their lives on that tragic day 25 years ago. As Americans we lost more than people that day, we lost our sense of security. One thing for sure that we gained that day was a sense of unity as Americans. While we may have been broken for a short time, we united as a country to become whole again. We all lost something that day, whether you personally knew someone who was lost that day or someone who perished from “working the pile” years later, we all have been affected. Take time today and remember that day and make today the day you set aside your differences with others and remember all Americans where effected that tragic day. God bless and God speed. For those first responders who we have lost, we’ll take it from here.

PRESS RELEASE FOR CALLS ON SUNDAY 8/30/26

So, Sunday started out busy for the dedicated members of the Gallupville FD. At approximately 6:50 this morning we were dispatched for an EMS call with our department responding with Fire personnel and EMT's. Our patient was transported by the Schoharie County Ambulance to the appropriate facility. As we cleared that call and our members returned home, we were then dispatched at 8:26 for a reported personal injury auto accident (PIAA). Responding members were made aware that this was for a down motorcyclist and involving a large tree and live wires. Upon arrival of the first GFD officer on scene, dispatch was advised to launch the Life Net helicopter and that 443 was completely blocked. As the EMT's from Gallupville Fire Department went to work on the patient, our firefighters went to work on closing the road, securing the scene and choosing a landing zone. Patient care continued with the cooperation of GFD, Scho-Wright Ambulance and Schoharie County Paramedic, until the arrival of the helicopter, when we transferred care to them for transport to Albany Medical/Trauma Center. We wish the patient our best. With the assistance of Schoharie Fire Department, NYS Police, Schoharie County Sheriffs, Schoharie County 911 Dispatchers, Scho-Wright Ambulance, Schoharie County EMS Paramedic, National Grid and Asplundh Tree Service the scene was cleared and the road was opened to alternating 1 lane traffic. Thank you to all of those agencies that came out to assist with these calls today.
