Drill Night
Tonight the members of the CHVFC will be meeting for our weekly drill night. We use these nights to brush up on techniques for the jobs and duties we perform, as well as try new ideas and different ways of getting things done on the fireground.
Members also get the chance to get behind the wheel of our apparatus to practice driving and learn how to operate and pump the trucks.
If you're interested in volunteering, stop down and see us! We’re there at 7:00 PM. Get a tour of the station, ask questions, and meet some of our firefighters. There’s always a spot open for someone willing to help their community.
We are always looking for new members including:
• Interior Firefighters
• Exterior Firefighters
• Fire Police
• EMTs
• Associate Members
Come see what we're all about!

Vehicle Fire – Bushendorf Road
On February 27th at approximately 6:30 PM, the CHVFC, Ravena Rescue, and Albany County Paramedics were dispatched to a reported vehicle fire in the area of 134 Bushendorf Road. Dispatch advised that trees, as well as a vehicle, were on fire.
Car 6-01 was the first fire unit enroute and was advised the vehicle was fully involved and that fuel had begun to burn. Upon arrival, 6-01 confirmed a working, fully involved vehicle fire and requested additional tones for manpower.
Rescue 6-10 and Engine 6-20 responded with crews. Upon arrival, one handline was deployed and the fire was brought under control. Crews remained on scene for approximately two hours to cool down the vehicle, assist the tow company with cleanup, and wash down the roadway.
There were no injuries reported.

Was the person driving along and their car caught fire and they were able to get out? Or was a car set on fire? There’s no houses around, so I’m a bit confused/curious.
Glad he’s ok.
Wow great work and all home safe! Thank you for your service volunteering for people in need
Job well done, especially with the details 🚒
No injuries at all, that is a good thing to hear. Chaplain Hough from ACVFA OFFICERS and MEMBERS. 🚒🚒🚓🚓
Thanks for your service! 🙏
Great Job Thanks
Training Night at CHVFC
Last night members of the Coeymans Hollow Volunteer Fire Company gathered for hands-on training focused on search and rescue and handline advancements.
Our training officers set up a maze in the truck bay to simulate real-world conditions. Crews practiced different techniques and styles for searching for missing victims, along with various methods for advancing a handline into a structure.
Each evolution presented new challenges. One scenario involved four victims, while another included two victims and two firefighters going down — which significantly changed the strategy and required crews to quickly adapt their plan.
All scenarios were conducted under zero-visibility conditions. The lights were out and members’ facepieces were blacked out, forcing crews to rely on their training, communication, and teamwork.
While crews operated inside, other members and officers were assigned the roles of Command and Operations. These members were responsible for making on-scene decisions and managing the incident, providing valuable insight into the challenges that chiefs and ranking officers face during real emergencies.
Training like this ensures our members are prepared, adaptable, and ready to serve our community when called upon.

You gave them a pretty good workout. They were hot and sweaty at the end. You even simulated exposed power cables. It was one new members first drill. I think a lot was learned. We do like to give back to the community with fire suppression, EMS and other services.
Tonight, members of CHVFC had the pleasure of meeting with Katherine from Bill Lake Modular Homes.
Bill Lake Modular Homes previously stepped up to help a family who experienced a devastating house fire in 2024, providing support during an incredibly difficult time. Their continued generosity does not go unnoticed.
This evening, the company generously donated a check to our fire company in appreciation of our volunteers and their dedication to protecting the community. We are truly grateful to Katherine for taking the time to come down and personally hand-deliver the donation.
CHVFC remains committed 24/7/365 to answering any emergency request — whether in our district or assisting our neighboring departments. Our members proudly volunteer their time to serve and protect, and we are always looking to welcome new members who want to help our organization grow.
If you’re interested in joining, feel free to message this page, reach out to a member, or stop by the firehouse on Tuesday nights during our weekly drills.
That was a surprise. She was very nice.
I am incredibly grateful that they followed through! They failed to follow through on all other commitments they made to us, but at least they got this part right!!! Thank you Coeymans Hollow Volunteer Fire Corp. !!!!!
