About Us

Friends and Neighbors, 
 
 
The Sempronius Fire Department is proud to provide our community with the highest level of fire service, as well as rescue and EMS. Our community is staffed with 100% volunteers. With the support of our community, and our great group of volunteers, your Fire Department and its service to the community continues to grow. As of January 2024, we have a total of 20 active members.
 
 
We have multiple fundraisers throughout the year. Those fundraisers include roughly 6 chicken BBQs that happen at the end of the scheduled months. Our large outdoor giveaway where the top prize is a brand-new Ranger 500 ATV and trailer. Our large truck and tractor pull that happens at the end of the summer each year with 2 tracks and multiple classes that can be joined. Lastly, we have been able to also add in a smaller tractor pull at the beginning of the summer, all of this couldn’t be done without the help of all of our members and their families.
 
 
OUR ANNUAL TRUCK AND TRACTOR PULL:
Located on Phillips Road in Moravia, NY. Entry to the grounds starting at 8:00 am, and the pull starts around 10:00am. Gate admission is a $5 donation per person with children 12 and younger free. Along with the action out on the pulling track, we will have a full line of fantastic food available. Including, but not limited to, hamburgers, hot dogs, hot sausages, cold & hot drinks.
