 The
Corning Volunteer Fire Department
was founded
in 1912 and relied on hose carts and fire hydrants
for fire protection. In 1920, the department purchased
its first motorized fire engine: a 1920 Brockway,
still in use today for parades and other community
events. In 1939 a two-story, three bay facility
was built on Fifth Street, one half block off the
main street. Two bays were added in 1969. In 1990
a new dispatch center was added which includes offices
and living quarters. Housed at the station are three
Class A pumpers, two brush engines and a rescue
squad.
The Department protects an area of five square miles,
including a business district, two shopping centers
and two large truck stops. The Corning Volunteer
Fire Department is located at 814 Fifth Street.
Mission Statement
The services provided by the dispatch unit will
be conducted in a professional and timely manner.
All contact with the public will be positive and
calm, whether in an emergency or non-emergency situation. |
