BIG CHANGES COMING TO FIRE SERVICE IN THIS CAYUGA CO. TOWN

There are going to be some significant changes coming later this year in the town of Fleming. On Monday, March 20, the Fleming Town Board held a public hearing discussing a resolution that would dissolve the Fleming Fire Protection District, then create a new one known as the “Fleming Fire Protection District.”

Since the mid-1900s the town of Fleming has been covered by two departments. Fleming Fire Department No. 1, Inc. and Fleming Fire Co. 2. Both operate within the aforementioned district. After that public hearing the Town Board voted to dissolve the Fleming Fire Protection District and form a new Fleming Fire District, which would officially be active October 2, 2023.
