Does the Oswego fire department have any special squads or teams?
We have a scuba-dive team, a hazardous material team, and a water rescue team. A specialized rescue team is also housed in our department, which focuses on high-angle rope rescue. Another important crew is the team of firefighters that visit area schools to teach children about fire safety and fire prevention. We also have a F.R.Y. (fire related youth team) team that counsels children that play with fire. This is a proactive approach that focuses on intervention prior to a serious fire.
