Proceeds from the sales of select firefighting, and rescue-related antiques will be donated to help fund Hudson Fire Department, the oldest active volunteer fire department in NY state.
80-90% of fires in NY state are fought by volunteers.
“The City of Hudson Department of Fire is the oldest active volunteer fire department in New York State. Organized in 1794 with the chartering of J. W. Edmonds Hose Company #1; our department has provided uninterrupted protection to the residents and visitors of our fine city ever since.”
