The first official documentation of the Lake George Fire Department Auxiliary appeared in the local newspaper in 1939.

  “The Officers of the Women’s Auxiliary of the Lake George Fire Department will complete plans today for the first annual banquet, which will take place in the Worden Hotel, where election of officers will take place.  Ruth Monroe is president, Ruth Blair is vice president, Dorothy George secretary, S. Schermerhorn, treasurer, Jesse Finkle publicity chairman and Ada Norton, refreshments chairman.”

 Over Seventy-two years later we are 23 members strong and continue to support the members of our fire department. Our fund raising efforts allow us to keep an ongoing commitment to the department and the community.  As part of our commitment to our department we provide for them a Fire Call team, in which our members respond to fire scenes with needed refreshments, meals and rehabilitation time. We host an annual holiday party for the children of the members of the department providing them with a special gift from Santa. We support the “adopt a family” thru the Lake George Elementary School as well.  We also provide support for all of our members during times of illness, or loss, in whatever way we can.

Our current membership is made up of women who have served within the auxiliary for over 65 years all the way right down to our newest members. 

We are proud to serve as the Lake George Fire Department Auxiliary.

Lake George Volunteer Fire Department Junior Auxiliary.

 The Junior Auxiliary work along side the adult members of the department and auxiliary, during fund raisers, dinners, and times of need.   The goal is to present them with the background, education and experience they will need as adults not only in the world of emergency services, but life in general.  This is a wonderful opportunity to perform Community Service as well.   In order to be a member of the Junior Auxiliary a child must be the son, daughter, grandson, or grand-daughter of a member of the fire department or auxiliary who has celebrated their 11th birthday but has not reached their 18th birthday.   Those interested should have their parent or grandparent contact a member of the current Auxiliary.
