The next stop at our Installation Dinner brings us to two of our most meaningful awards of the evening—honors that are thought about all year long and recognize members who truly step up for the department.
🏆 Firefighter of the Year – 2025 🏆
Presented by Chief Haight
Selecting this year’s Firefighter of the Year was no easy decision.
Our members showed tremendous dedication across the board, making it a very close call.
One individual, however, stood out through consistent effort and commitment. In just his first few months back with the department, he successfully completed three major classes—demonstrating a strong dedication not only to the company, but to serving our community at a higher level.
It is with great pride that we announce the 2025 Firefighter of the Year: Patrick McCarthy.
Congratulations, Patrick, and thank you for your hard work, commitment, and continued dedication to the fire service and our community. 🚒👏

🏆 Officer of the Year – 2025 🏆
Presented by Assistant Chief Williams
At our March monthly meeting, members cast their votes for Officer of the Year—an award that reflects the respect and appreciation of the entire company.
This year’s recipient is someone who consistently gives their time and energy without hesitation. Whether responding to calls, leading drills, or lending a hand on any given weekday, this officer continually goes above and beyond—always putting the department and community first.
For the second year in a row, it is with great pride that we present the Officer of the Year award to Daniel Haight.
Your leadership, commitment, and selfless service set the standard for all of us. This department is stronger because of you, and we are proud to stand beside you.
Congratulations, Chief.
So proud of my son in law Patrick McCarthy!
Congratulations 🇺🇸🍻
Congrats Patric 👍✌️🇺🇸
Continuing with our awards from the Annual Installation Dinner, we’re highlighting the next two recognitions presented that evening.
🚒 Most Drills of 2025
This award goes to a member who demonstrated exceptional dedication to training and participation throughout the year. Balancing drills with work, family, and other commitments isn’t always easy, but this member made it a priority time and time again.
With an impressive 32 drills attended, we’re proud to recognize 1st Assistant Chief John Williams as this year’s recipient. Congratulations, Chief!
👏 Most Calls of 2025
Each year, our officers review call attendance to recognize those who consistently show up when it matters most. This year’s top responder is Jordan Flach.
Jordan, thank you for your commitment and dedication to the department. your effort and consistency do not go unnoticed.
Keep it up, Jordan — at this pace, we may have to reserve you your own parking spot.
Nice job team

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.On April 11th, the CHVFC held its annual Installation Dinner.

Congratulations to all of you that are serving in the Coeymans Hollow Fire Department. PRAYING for a successful year. Chaplain Hough from ACVFA OFFICERS AND MEMBERS. 🚒🚒🙏👍
Congratulations to Coeymans Hollow Fire and thank you for your service to the community. CHFD will always have a special place in my heart. I remember as a little kid living on Powell Hill Road and hearing the big siren when there was a call. Our house overlooked the flats on Rt. 143. I remember looking out my window and waiting to see which way the trucks were going to go - out west on 143 or east on 143 coming towards me. Thank you for always being there when we need your help down in Ravena.
Congratulations to everybody and thank you for your service. It’s tough to keep a volunteer family going as strong as CHVFC You are appreciated all of you

If a fire is present, it can become extreme. During this time, dry weather, low humidity, and wind will spread fires easily, which will then become large and dangerous wildfires. PREPARE NOW:
Be aware of local burn bans being in place by visiting your city/town/village website.
Keep leaves, debris, or flammable materials at least 30 feet from your home.
Close doors and windows. Designate a room that can be closed off from outside air.
Learn your evacuation routes and practice evacuating with your family and pets. Make sure you know where to go if you need to leave.
If a fire occurs, ACT:
If local officials tell you to leave, leave immediately.
Pay attention to emergency alerts for information and instructions.
Limit your exposure to smoke. Use an N95 mask to protect yourself from smoke inhalation.
