Ithaca Fire Department

Congratulations to Firefighter Bardo and Firefighter Whitney on reaching 30 years of dedicated service with the Ithaca Fire Department (IFD) this week!
When they began their careers in 1996, a gallon of gas cost just $1.10, and the average home in Ithaca sold for $104,000. A lot has changed since then—but their commitment to serving our community has remained constant.
Both firefighters are currently assigned to the truck company, where they play an essential role in the department. They generously share their knowledge and experience with newer firefighters every shift, helping to shape the next generation of IFD members.
Thank you both for three decades of outstanding service!

Congratulations to Firefighters Stilwell and Albertsman who both reached their ten years of service mark today. Well done!
