The Cooperstown Volunteer Fire Department serves the greater Cooperstown community through fire protection, rescue and emergency medical services. The Department is a division of the Village government of Cooperstown, as such, members are technically unpaid village employees. Equipment and supplies are included as part of the village budget each year, and cover vehicle maintenance and fuel expenses. Donations make up the remainder of the Department's operating budget. Once received by the officers of the Department, this packet will be reviewed, and your name will be read at the next regular meeting. A panel of Department officers will interview you, and the Otsego County Sheriff’s Department will complete a required arson background check. Squad applications will be voted on at a Squad meeting, and will then be forwarded to the Fire Department for vote at it's next monthly meeting. Membership is broken into four primary categories - Fire & Rescue, EMS, Fire Police and Fire Corps. Fire & Rescue - Firefighters work as part of a team to provide fire protection, extricate accident victims, and provide rescue services. Firefighters provide these services on roadways, afield, and on the waterways in and around Cooperstown, as well as providing mutual aid assistance to neighboring communities.

All training is provided to members free of charge. Emergency Medical Services (Cooperstown Emergency Squad) - Members receive free training, either in-house or through the Otsego County Office of Emergency Services. CPR training is the minimum level required to assist on ambulance calls, while many members go on to seek training as First Responders, Emergency Medical Technicians, Critical Care Technicians and Paramedics. Each level of training builds on the last, and squad members have each spent many hours of their own time to reach their current level of state certification. Fire Police - Members of the Department that provide traffic control and security at emergency scenes and Department events are part of the Fire Police. Fire Police members receive specialized training, and are sworn peace officers of NY State.
