The Quaker Springs Fire Department's
Fire Stations
The Quaker Springs Fire
Department has two fire stations.
Station 1 is located on Blodgett Road, just off
NYS Route 32 in the hamlet of Quaker Springs. The 3-bay
station was built in 1977 to replace the original firehouse that had
been built in 1947. An additional double bay was added in
2000.
Station 2 is located on NYS Route 9P
at the north end of Saratoga Lake. Station 2 was built in 2009 to
provide enhanced response to the west end of our fire district. It
has 3 bays, a radio room, a small break room and ADA bathroom.
This station will typically house 2 fire trucks and our rescue boat.
Station 2 was built on land that was generously donated to the district
by Michael Giovanone.
The Fire Commissioners' long-range plans call for
an additional station to provide
coverage for the north end of the district. We have acquired land through a
generous donation from Saratoga Builders on NYS Route 29 (across from
Farmer's Daughter). We feel this will be an ideal location for
Station3. Our tentative plan is to build at this location
after paying off our bond on Station2. This way we can keep
our fire tax rate low, while still planning for the future.
