Lt. Nick Hilton

This week we sat down with Firefighter Nicole Richard of the York Village, ME Fire Department. The four of us shared some laughs and discussed what the fire service could do to encourage more females to join their local volunteer or on-call fire department. Nicole joined the fire department at the same time as her mother. She discusses the training that she has completed, the confidence that she has gained and how other women shouldn’t be afraid to step up and serve.

This week Nick Hilton and Nick Hamel have a conversation with Asst. Chief Adam Feck of the Manlius, NY Fire Department. We discussed their unique community based programs that include a youth firefighter camp and an opioid awareness program for youth. Their programs are certainly trend setters and they are hoping to get other fire departments to adopt these programs for themselves.

Manlius Fire Department has a web page with examples of what they are doing for their community. www.manliusfire.com
