The Quaker Springs Fire Department (QSFD) serves the rural area of the Town of Saratoga New York. Our district has traditionally been a farming community. We protect a 50.2 square mile area. The Fire District is surrounded on three sides by major bodies of water - Saratoga Lake, Fish Creek and the Hudson River. When the department first started in 1947, Mrs. King would sound the church bell for alarms. We then advanced to a siren and then to fully automatic pager alert system where firefighters are notified of the alarm location and nature.
Please be advised there will be delays along the Northway this morning around 10 AM fire departments will be a long Northway Honoring a Fallen New York City fire fighter being transported home Remember fallen brother
