Help Us Continue To Keep Our Commitment To Protecting Your Safety,

The Clayton Fire Department has launched a special capital campaign to raise funds for our new Fire Station on Graves Street. More than just a building, the new Fire Station project represents a resurgence of the Clayton Fire Department and our commitment to the community; a commitment to continue to provide rapid, professional fire and safety protection for our residents (See enclosed Question and Answer sheet for more information). The funds raised will be used to pay-off long-term loans that were secured to start construction on the new station. By alleviating this debt, we will save thousands of dollars in interest that would be accrued over the term of the loans. In the long run this will enable the Clayton Fire Department to better serve the Clayton community. 

The Clayton Fire Department proudly serves the village and town of Clayton (north of County Route 5) and provides mutual aid to the surrounding communities as needed. Members of the Clayton Fire Department share a professional relationship with our neighboring fire departments, working side-by-side with them, to ensure 24-hour response capabilities. Our Force consists of approximately 90 volunteer firefighters operating in a total of four Companies with six trucks and two boats, including “Last Chance” a 36’ fire rescue boat, which also serves as a water ambulance. These resources allow the Clayton Fire Department to respond not just to a variety of calls on the mainland, but on the St. Lawrence River as well.

By moving the Clayton Fire Department from Mary Street to the new, modern building on Graves Street, both the Department and the community will benefit. The Clayton area is considered the cultural center of the Thousand Islands region. We are fortunate to have unique museums and buildings that preserve our local heritage and history; as well as numerous art galleries, shops and boutiques. With your help, the Clayton Fire Department will continue to protect our community and the local and national treasures that we are all so proud of.

At this giving time of the year please take a few minutes to review the enclosed information regarding our new building project, and show your support by returning the donor card with your gift.

We thank you for your support and look forward to inviting you to the dedication ceremony of our new fire station.
