Schroon Lake Fire Department Open House

/

Every year Schroon’s Fire Department – made up exclusively of volunteers – answers more than 120 calls to help those in need. From car wrecks, to boat fires on the lake, full blown dwellings ablaze, to false alarms, these dedicated men and women are at the ready.

The day kicks off with a free breakfast at 10 am.
