πβ€οΈ Our EMTs Are the Heart of Our Community β€οΈπ
At Coopers Plains Long Acres Volunteer Fire Department, our EMTs do so much more than respond to emergencies they bring hope, compassion, and lifesaving care when our neighbors need it most.
Whether it's the middle of the night, a holiday, or during severe weather, they answer the call without hesitation. They leave family dinners, miss celebrations, and sacrifice their time because helping others is what they are called to do.
To our dedicated EMTs: Thank you. Your knowledge, courage, and selfless service make a difference every single day. Our community is stronger because of you.
π If one of our EMTs has ever helped you or your family, we'd love to hear your story. Leave a message of thanks in the comments and help us recognize these hometown heroes.
π¨ Interested in making a difference? We're always looking for compassionate individuals to join our EMS and fire family. No experience? We'll help provide the training. Stop by the station or send us a message to learn how you can serve your community.

The New York State Police are reminding the public to understand and follow New York State laws regarding e-bikes, e-scooters, and off-road electric motorcycles.
Weβve seen an increase in complaints and safety concerns in Madison County, particularly involving the illegal operation of electric dirt bikes on public roads and in residential areas.
Know the law:
E-bikes & E-scooters
β’ Must be operated by riders 16 years of age or older
β’ Helmets required for riders ages 16 and 17
β’ No sidewalk operation unless locally permitted
β’ Must follow all traffic laws and yield to pedestrians
β’ E-scooters limited to roads 30 mph or less
E-dirt bikes / off-highway electric motorcycles
β’ Classified as off-highway motorcycles under NYS law
β’ Not legal on public roads, sidewalks, bike paths, or parks unless fully registered, insured, and street legal
β’ Most recreational models do not meet these requirements
β’ Use is limited to private property with permission
Illegal operation of these vehicles creates serious safety risks for riders and the public.
Parents and guardians: Please ensure minors are not operating vehicles that are not legal for roadway use. Unsafe or repeated behavior may result in enforcement action, including charges such as endangering the welfare of a child.
The New York State Police will continue working with the community to promote safe and lawful operation.
Ride responsibly. Ride legally. Keep our communities safe.
