Seneca Falls, NY — August 10 — Firefighters from Seneca Falls, New York, spent the evening of August 10 practicing skills that could be crucial during the next emergency.

The Seneca Falls Fire Department was the first to respond to the training, with its members divided into different groups.

One group went to Cayuga Lake State Park to work on drafting and pump operations, while others stayed at the station to review aerial operations on the department’s Quint apparatus.

At the lake, the crews practiced setting up a water supply from an open water source and operating the pump.

Cayuga Lake State Park is located on Lower Lake Road in Seneca Falls and offers access to Cayuga Lake, making it a suitable location for water supply training.

The station-based group focused on aerial operations, ensuring the Quint was prepared for assignments that require its aerial device.

Seneca Falls firefighters had also taken part in multi-department training earlier in 2026 with firefighters from Fayette and Waterloo, where they worked on skills such as hose advancement, radio communication, accountability, search and rescue, and other operational tasks.

No mutual-aid departments were mentioned in the available information for the August 10 exercise, so none have been included to prevent incorrectly crediting an agency.

For the firefighters involved, the Monday evening session provided another chance to stay proficient before the next emergency call.
