Save the Date: RecruitNY 2026 – April 18-19, 2026

Get ready for RecruitNY 2026, the annual statewide recruitment weekend when volunteer fire departments across New York open their doors to the community to showcase what it means to serve.

On April 18–19, 2026, departments will once again welcome neighbors, families, and future firefighters for station tours, live demonstrations, gear try-ons, and more — all designed to spark interest and grow volunteer membership.

Your participation makes a real difference. With most of New York’s fire service powered by volunteers, RecruitNY is one of the most important opportunities of the year to strengthen your ranks and connect with your community.

Stay tuned, department registration and event resources will be available soon.

Together, let’s make RecruitNY 2026 the biggest and most impactful recruitment weekend yet.
