Fleming Fire Department #1 has been proudly serving the citizens of Fleming, New York since 1942.  Our fire department is, and always has been, 100% volunteer.  Our members are not paid for their services.  Our members are your neighbors and come from all walks of life.  The men and women of our department range in age from 18 to 85.  What brings us together is our community spirit and the satisfaction of knowing that our collaborative effort makes everyone in the community safer, and keeps the cost of living down by lowering taxes and insurance rates.
