Today, September 11, 2026, marks the 25th anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001.

We remember the 2,977 innocent lives lost that day, including the firefighters, police officers, EMS personnel, dispatchers, and countless civilians who made the ultimate sacrifice.

As firefighters, we especially remember the 343 FDNY firefighters who gave their lives while running toward danger to save others.

Twenty-five years later, their courage, sacrifice, and brotherhood continue to inspire us.

The Sawkill Fire Department is looking for Town of Kingston residents who have an old, unwanted vehicle they would be willing to donate for auto extrication training.

These vehicles give our firefighters valuable hands-on experience using the tools and techniques needed to safely extricate patients from vehicles during serious accidents.

Here’s the best part:
✔️ We will arrange to pick up the vehicle
✔️ The vehicle will be used for firefighter training
✔️ After training, we will transport it to the junkyard
✔️ There is NO cost to the resident

If you have a vehicle you would like to donate, or would like more information, please reach out to Chief Dave Hoffman.

Thank you for supporting the Sawkill Fire Department and our firefighters!
