Cortlandville Fire Department

It is with deep regret that the Cortlandville Fire Department announces the passing of long time member Carlton Hart.
 

In memory of
Carlton M. Hart

“Dad”

March 2nd, 1982 – April 29th, 2013

 Every Fire Department is a group effort but Carl Hart was one of those cornerstone individuals that helped to carry us during our formative years. It was not uncommon to hear “Carl has got it” or “Carl will be there” – every time the call went out. When others were unsure, when membership was lacking, when a driver was needed, when funds had to be raised – there was Carl. He had an infectious smile that was contagious and Carl simply loved the fire service; his name and the Cortlandville Fire Department are synonymous. Many titles and accolades; role model, President, Fire Police Captain, top responder, and Driver of the Year were just some. If you look up the term volunteer firefighter in the dictionary there is a picture of Carl Hart next to it. His time, commitment and dedication will never be forgotten.

In an effort to provide the most efficient response to the businesses in the Cortlandville Fire District, The Cortlandville Fire Department is in the process of updating emergency contact information for your business. The importance of correct information in the event of an emergency allows the Fire Department to better do its job, and also assures that communication to a property owner is established. All information is confidential and will not be given out other than to the County 911 center, as they predominately make calls for the department.

 


The Fire Department is also stressing the importance of a Knox Box key lock system. This system became mandatory in 2000 by Town of Cortlandville Local Law no. 1-2000. All new structures that have a fire alarm system must provide a Knox box on the structure. Any existing structures other than one or two family dwellings were to comply with the local law on January 1, 2001. This system provides a secure means to store keys to a structure for fire department use only. This allows immediate mitigation of a problem by the department without having to wait for a key holder to respond. This saves valuable time and will prevent unnecessary damage during forced entry.

 


If you have any questions regarding the fire department, its services, or setting up a tour of your facilities, please feel free to contact Chief Henry or Deputy Chief Gebel at (607) 753-9014 Extension #12.
