It was recently brought to the attention of the New Hartford Police Department that earlier this week there was an individual attempting to sell dealer space at... the New Hartford Recreation Center for a craft fair through a Facebook vending and crafting platform. This event was reported to be held on the weekend of December 5th, and 6th 2020 and the vending space was selling for $70 per booth. At this time the police department would like to confirm that there is not a craft fair scheduled at the Recreation Center during the above mentioned weekend. The police department would also like users to remain vigilant and please report any type of online activity you feel may be criminal in nature.

Tuesday Training Time-lapse at NHFD

Aerial shot of tonight's fire training with high expansion foam

Thank you to the New Hartford Fire Department for inviting us to their weekly training this evening. NHFD Captain Monohan conducted a "Dollhouse Burn" to show ...fire behavior in modern home construction. A small room & contents fire quickly expanded to other rooms in the house, eventually blowing out the windows and sending super heated smoke through the roof and eves. Please be sure that you have properly working smoke detectors on every floor in your home and have an emergency exit plan on place for your family in the event of a fire.

The NHFD wishes to thank our friends at the Immanuel Church on Weston Road. We really appreciate the thoughtful donation of the to-go bags for our members.
