Erie County Legislator Ed Rath visited the East Amherst Fire Company last week to present a proclamation showing support for the annual RecruitNY initiative.

Recognized from April 27-28, RecruitNY encourages residents to consider becoming a volunteer firefighter. More than 500 participating fire companies opened their doors to showcase their firestations, hold demonstrations with equipment, and offer information on what it means to be a firefighter. Since RecruitNY began, over 20,000 volunteer firefighters have been recruited across New York State.

Legislator Rath said, “It’s great to see so many fire companies throughout my legislative district and across Erie County encourage residents to get involved in firefighting. We are appreciative of everything these men and women do to protect our community and educate people on fire safety. Thank you to everyone who put together another successful RecruitNY weekend!”
