    • The volunteer firefighters who have been trained at the Owego Fire Department literally saved my life (drowning) on a school trip. I know their quick action and knowledge of how to save a life came from the training they received at the Owego Fire Department. Please save the Fire Department.

    • People make mistakes, admit that and fix the wrongs done to the volunteers. No matter where they are, how old they are or how often they are able to volunteer. There is no amount of time required to be a volunteer.
