We are one of four fire departments in the Town of Manlius. Our district starts north of the Erie Canal; it covers all of Fremont and Minoa to north of the Town at Taft Road.

We average 500-600 alarms annually. Our roster is between 35 and 50 members. The population that we serve is over 11,000; our area is over 33 square miles.

The District covers a large portion of the CSX rail yard, gas stations, several lakes and streams, part of the Thruway, County and Village wastewater treatment plants, and electrical substations.
