In the fall of 1872, a group of firefighters gathered in Auburn, New York to parade and celebrate the fire service. During this celebration, conversations began about holding a convention of firefighters from around the country. Little did anyone realize that this gathering would be the seed that would grow into the Firemen’s Association of the State of New York or, as many know it, FASNY.

One hundred and 50 years later, FASNY continues to pursue its mission to inform, educate and train the volunteer fire service. In the decades since that eventful gathering, FASNY has supported those who serve as volunteer firefighters in many ways.

This includes establishment of the FASNY Firemen’s Home more than 125 years ago to care for indigent, sick or disabled firemen. Today, its 120 peaceful acres host one of the State’s premier nursing home facilities.

On the same campus, we’ve preserved our rich history, culture and the science of firefighting at the FASNY Museum of Firefighting. This world-class collection of firefighting apparatus and artifacts reminds both firefighters and the public of the essential services volunteer firefighters provide throughout the country.

FASNY has also been the voice of the volunteer firefighter in legislative chambers across the State. Over the years we have crafted and helped pass crucial legislation that protects us as well as the communities we serve. One of our most significant legislative achievements was the development and passage of legislation establishing cancer coverage for volunteer firefighters. One hundred and fifty years later, the Association continues to lobby to protect volunteer firefighters and the public they serve.

Training remains one of the cornerstones of our organization. We assist local departments and individual firefighters to train and maintain a high level of professional skill for those who count on us in their times of need. Our many events also bring volunteers together that further the bonds that are such an important piece of our sacred sister and brotherhood.

The continued protection of the residents of New York has been a high priority for FASNY in the 21st century. At its core, this means ensuring that every department has enough men and women to complete their mission. Towards this goal, we’ve introduced initiatives like RecruitNY Weekend and the Fire in You marketing campaign.

FASNY is also committed to the youth of our State as they represent the future of the volunteer fire service. By supporting the creation and maintenance of youth programs throughout New York, we hope to attract and keep young people engaged in the admirable calling to serve.

Our Annual Convention embodies the Association’s commitment to volunteer first responders, both current and past. Each year, we recognize our most dedicated volunteers with numerous awards and recognitions. Further, our Annual Memorial Service is a time to remember and thank our brothers and sisters who have gone before us.

FASNY will remain forever dedicated to informing, educating and training the volunteer fire service. You serve your communities and we’re here to serve you. As we begin the celebration of our next 150 years, we’re excited for what the future holds for our organization and the volunteer fire service of New York State.

We cordially invite you to be part of the celebration at our 150th Annual Convention in Westchester, New York – coming in August 2022.
