In the News - 2006:
W.F.D. receives FEMA grant
11-30-06 The W.F.D. has received word that it will get $43,700 dollars for
station upgrades. The Wallington FD will be using the funds to install a
state-of-the-art 50K generator to power the entire fire station through
power outages. This will give people of the community a warm and safe
place to go when power is lost for a long period of time as well as the
fire department can operate at full capacity. This is something that has
been well needed ever since the ice storm of 2003 when power was lost in
the town for over a week. It’s definitely a plus for the WFD.
Construction has already started and contracts have been signed.
They
come in groups
10-31-06 In a 24-hour period, Wallington responded mutual assistance with the
Sodus F.D. to a reported stove fire on Monday and on Halloween,
responded to a water flow alarm in the Old Garlock's Plant with the
Sodus FD. These calls were in response to the mutual aid agreement we
have with them during the day from 6 am- 6 pm Monday through Friday. We
responded to our own call of a car fire at lot 14B Sodus mobile home
park. The fire was out when units arrived. That was a busy few hours for
both departments and a job well done!

Flight landing. One Rescue from Sodus and an Ambulance from STAC (Sodus
