The Fishers Fire District in Victor is considering dissolution, prompting worry about emergency response in the area. A public hearing is set for July 16, but no final decisions have been made.
Former Fire Chief Dan Chapman criticized the process as rushed, warning it could jeopardize fire protection and increase insurance costs for local businesses. Fishers responds to about 1,000 calls annually and operates two stations serving a mix of residential and commercial areas.
If dissolved, other departments like Victor or Mendon may take over coverage. Emergency medical services from Victor Farmington Ambulance would remain unaffected.
