Spafford and 911 Spafford and 911

When you have an emergency and dial 911 in the Town of Spafford, your call is received by Onondaga County Emergency Communications Center in Onondaga Hill. They will route your call to the appropriate dispatch center. In the case of fire and medical related emergencies, Onondaga Fire Control dispatch then notifies via pager, cell phone text and siren the Borodino and Spafford Fire Departments. Our volunteers get the call and respond to their respective fire stations. These people then respond to your residence with the equipment appropriate to the nature of your emergency. In the case of medical issues, an ambulance is also simultaneously dispatched to your location. These respond from Skaneateles (SAVES), or Marcellus (MAVES). Having enough volunteers is critical in keeping this system functioning smoothly. Please consider joining the fire department!
