Northern Central Firefighter of the Year!


Congratulations to Firefighter Dave Dentico for being awarded the prestigious Fire Fighter of the Year award for assisting a woman in distress by administering the Heimlich Maneuver.


On the night August 19th, 2023, FF Dentico came to the aid of a woman suffering from a possible choking incident during a fund-raising dinner. The event was the Forever Wild Outdoors Dinner held at Jack’s Place at the Chili Country Club in Chili, NY.


FF Dentico was talking to a woman across the table from him when he noticed that she was having some difficulty breathing and talking. He followed his First Aid training to test if she needed help but, despite her lips moving, she could not talk. Recognizing that her airway was blocked, FF Dentico went to her side of the table where, upon reaching her, she slumped over. FF Dentico sat her back up in the chair, pulled the chair away from the table wherein she passed out and went limp. FF Dentico quickly lifted her up and performed the Heimlich maneuver three times, and again checked to see if her airway was clear. At this time, she regained consciousness and started to talk. FF Dentico then sat her back into 

her chair and stayed with her until she was breathing and talking normally. When the 

patient was fully coherent and comfortable, FF Dentico recommended that she go to the hospital or urgent care for follow up.


The patient’s name is Joan Spring, Henrietta NY. Joan and her husband were present at 

the Northern Central Annual Banquet and presented Dave with his plaque.

Be a good Neighbor!

Like the commercial says; "Be a good neighbor!"

Did you know that just 30 years ago you had 17 minutes to escape a burning home and today you only have 3-4 minutes? Modern home building materials and furnishings may hold up to wear and tear but they burn much faster.

The ability to get water on the fire quickly can mean the difference between a small fire and total loss. Winter creates a number of challenges but one we can control is access to fire hydrants. Clearing snow away from the hydrant on all sides for about two feet makes it easier for the Fire Department to hook up hose and send water to the fire.

The Walworth Fire Department is a sponsor of the Hydrant Helper Program but not all hydrants are kept clear. If you have one on your street, neighbors can take turns clearing the snow away to allow the Fire Department quick access.

Be a good neighbor for your street and the Fire Department. Help us help you!!

NFPA Vacation Home SAFETY TIPS


  • Working smoke alarms are in every sleeping room. They are outside each separate sleeping area. They are on every level of the home.
  • Working smoke alarms are interconnected, if possible. When one alarm sounds, they all sound.
  • Portable fire extinguishers are in the home and are easy to reach.
  • Working carbon monoxide alarms are outside each separate sleeping area. They are on every level of the home and in other locations as required by laws, codes, or standards.
  • The owner has posted a floor plan. It notes all escape routes and exits and provides emergency contact information.
  • Everyone knows the address of the home.
  • Everyone staying in the home has identified two ways out of every room and how to escape in an emergency.
  • All doors and windows that lead outside are able to be opened.
  • An outside meeting place has been chosen. It is a safe distance away from the home.
  • Everyone knows how to call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number from a cell phone from outside.
  • If smoking is allowed, a smoking area has been designated and is well away from the structure. Deep, sturdy ashtrays have been provided.
  • All pathways are free and clear of tripping hazards.
  • Electrical outlets are free from multiple cords and adaptors.
  • The stovetop is clear. Anything that can catch fire is not near the stovetop, such as curtains and towels.
