Adding / Updating "Apparatus
From Other Areas" ....RECENT UPDATES..
Check Out: WWW.GREENEFIREAPPARATUS.NET
Fire Apparatus Of Greene County NY
Please take a second and sign my guestbook..
Thanks.
My site, CCNYFIREAPPARATUS.NET..(CCNYFA) serves only as an apparatus database for the Fire Companies and
Departments in Columbia County New York.
First a little about me and why I created
this website........ My name is Joe Cordato. I have lived in Columbia County all my life. I am an active member of the
Greenport Fire Department with over 40 years of volunteer service. I have always been a firebuff, collecting memorabilia
from patches to glasses and mugs to model collectible fire toys.
Photography
has always been of interest to me, so upon my retirement, I thought that "shooting" all apparatus in the county
would be fun. Maybe creating a website to post them and share with others that may find fire truck photos enjoyable could
also be fun. Well the picture taking was fun...... I got to meet some very nice members of our Columbia County fire community.
This is my first endeavor at creating a website, so this will be an ongoing work in
progress. I hope to continually add photos of new apparatus as they arrive and even plan on having an archival section of
older, past county fire equipment. An additional section will post all Rescue Squads in the county. Possibly community
Fire Departments that border our county and share mutual aid will be added.
This
site is dedicated to emergency services personnel everywhere, especially those in Columbia County New York, that serve so
unselfishly.
I'd like to thank ALL the firefighters that allowed me into
their stations to take great photographs that helped me reach a personal goal that hopefully all can enjoy...

Columbia is basically
a rural, agricultural county with a mix of smaller industrial areas. We are an all volunteer fire service comprised of 32
seperate fire districts or departments. The only city in the county, Hudson, takes pride in having the oldest recognized fire
company in the state! J W Edmonds Hose Co. 1 was formed in 1794.
Columbia County is located
in central eastern New York, approximately 100 miles north of New York City and approximately 30 miles south of the state
capitol, Albany. The Hudson River is our western border.
