Mailbox Signs now available
The Oswego Town Fire Department has started a new program to
help us find you better in the event of an emergency. One of our biggest issues
when responding to homes in the town is being able to locate house numbers. The
Fire Department is now selling reflective mailbox numbers that will solve this
problem. For $10 we will custom make an aluminum sign with your house numbers
on both sides and even come and mount it on your mailbox. Click
Here to view the online flyer. If you are interested all you need to do is
fill out the form and mail it in with a check, we will do the rest.
Look for us on Facebook !!!

Dunsmoor Farms Fire - January 2-3, 2016
Saturday evening at approximately 8pm the Oswego Town FD volunteers where dispatched to a reported explosion and fire at the Dunsmoor Farms facility on St Rt 104. First arriving units found a working fire in an 18 wheeler truck parked at the loading dock of the facility. An agressive attack was initiated but unfortunately the fire made its way into the main facility and there was no stopping it from there. 20 hours later all units were back in service. 20 different fire department from 3 counties manning 39 pieces of apparatus provided assistance throughout the event. The entire warehouse facility was a total loss, 2 nearby homes were able to be saved. THANK YOU goes to everyone involved with the firefighting operations.
